I'm not totally sure how they're related, but I got this idea after I played hscer's new quiz "Who are they talking about?". Just thought I've give credit where credit is due. As always, if you have suggestions or corrections, feel free to let me know. Enjoy the quiz!

I really like this quiz. A lot. Lincoln died April 15, though. But very good quiz.

I'm pretty sure Jesus died at Calvary, not Cavalry. Cavalry is people who fight on horses.

While I certainly missed more than one of these, I found it disturbing that when I saw the names of the ones I missed, there was one that I had not even heard of. Time to learn more about Chinese history!

Qin Shi Huang. Looks like I am among the 92% who weren't familiar with that name (first ruler of a united China, I now know). And I took a course in Chinese history at the university.

I think "first emperor" should be acceptable for Qin Shi Huang, he is commonly referred to as such.

@sobdennis: you can expect a sequel coming up in the next couple of days, or even the same thing, but birthdays. that might be too obscure though.
@michaelb76: i was doubtful of your claim at first, but turns out you're right. so that's now an acceptable answer.

I got qin shi huang because I typed in di. I assume that was because his full name was qin shi huangdi?

Seriously Abard? We have to explain that to you? HA! 1804 had me stumped and I feel kind of stupid for not getting it, but the Puerto Rico circa 1972 was the one I gave the old facepalm.

I got 1804, but it took me typing "Burr" and then realizing it was the other way around. Gotta love the "Aawon Buww!" commercial...

The quiz should accept "D'Arc" and "Jeanne D'Arc", those being the actual names of "Ms. of Arc".

@switzr1 John Adams died the same day as Thomas Jefferson: July 4, 1826. Same date, different place.

It doesn't make any sense to say "Rouen, England". Rouen has never been part of England, even though it might have been one of the dominions of the King of England at the time.

Waking up to find an email from sporcle saying my quiz was published: best morning ever! Thanks, sporcle gods, for the publish, it really means a lot. As for the hitler question, I suppose all those could work, but seeing as I'm now locked out of this quiz, it's out of my hands. Well, anyway, I hope everyone enjoys my quiz!

@Shakescene, Actually the Goebbels family died a day later. Goebbels took charge after Hitler died but when the Soviets didn't agree to his proposal of a conditional surrender, he felt he could do no more, so his wife killed the children with cyanide & than themselves outside the chancellory building on May 1st.

Could 'Chin Shi Huangdi' be accepted for 'Qin Shi Huang', as it's an alternative spelling, as are 'Qin Shi Huangdi', 'Chin Shi Huang' and 'Chin Shi Huang-Ti' It all depends on whether you're using the full or shortened name, pinyin or Wade-Gales

THANK YOU for including Roberto Clemente. What a humanitarian he was. There are a lot of "good-guy athletes" out there who give to charity, but name ONE who would be willing to jump on a plane to deliver supplies on the biggest "party day" of the year.

Can't believe 6% got the Chinese emporer, never heard of him before, they must have googled the name.

Yeah, congratulations to you guys who got the Chinese emperor, I tried every variation of 'Buddha,' 'Siddhartha Gautama,' 'Zoroaster,' 'Zarathustra,' 'Confucius,' 'Kong Fu Zi,' 'Lao Tzu' I could think of... but apparently instead it was someone else I've barely heard of.
