	Trying out this new idea. Tell me what you think.

	agreen94:	Feb 4th, 2010 at 22:48 GMT		6 points
	good idea but make the time a little shorter so people cant just guess random numbers for each one

	kypzethdurron:	Feb 5th, 2010 at 10:05 GMT		1 point
	I don't see a way of giving the time for working it out without giving the time for just typing numbers in. Maybe you have one answer and you have to type each letter in the right order? So A) Tiger Woods, B) Obama and the answer would be "BA"?

	um... SCREW THE PENGUINS! just saying...

	2 minutes, really? That's absurd.

	It is a bit unfair on non-Americans who have no knowledge of American sports. As i would hardly consider most them big well known international events.

	good quiz, but make the answers something other than numbers, maybe "first" "second" "third" etc. Better yet, make each answer the event that immediately preceded it, so the answer to "Barack Obama inagurated as 44th president" would be "US Airways"

	I may be mistaken but didn't Obama ACCEPT the award in October. There was some hubbub about him WINNING it 12 days into his presidency.

	Kevin:	Feb 5th, 2010 at 23:33 GMT		3 points
	No, he was nominated 12 days in. He won the award in October. Oh, and can we stop whining about American-centric quizzes? Make your own Eurotrash version if you want. An American quizmaker is more than welcome to make a quiz about American-specific events.

	I just punched in every number 1-16 for each one. I don't like having to compare each answer to 15 others to try to find chronological order. The quiz was well executed, I suppose the idea just wasn't good enough. Sorry.

	I think it's a great idea. Maybe having more events but the same amount of time would cut down on the guessing. But I do find it hard to read all of them and then have to remember them all and put them in order - I'm not sure what the solution is.

	reicherm:	Feb 6th, 2010 at 06:13 GMT		1 point
	thanks for the comments. i can see the idea needs some work. i wish i could make it so you only get a certain number of incorrect guesses so ppl wouldnt guess.

	cuendillar:	Feb 6th, 2010 at 09:11 GMT		1 point
	I think almost everyone will do at least some random guessing. Peronally, I had a clue at roughly what part of the year the various events happened. Dind't know the exact ordering, but I kept it down about 3-5 guesses for each until I could start filling in the gaps.

	I think maybe an extra minute would help. Yes, people can cheat if they want, but who cares if they do?

	aboyandhisblob:	Apr 1st, 2010 at 16:32 GMT		1 point
	too short, needs another minute
