I believe you need to add Hayes (as in Rutherford) for the presidents category. Still, great quiz!

Orhan Pamuk is a Literature laureate. Some very good categories here--it's a great challenge.

Just to let you know, you spelled Aries wrong in the quiz. Fun quiz though, very varied, should be on front page!

I want to thank all of you for being my dutiful editors! Clearly, I need to not finish quizzes at 3am. It seems I missed exactly one entry in each large category. I'm clearly incapable of transcribing a list :)

sproutcm if this is what you're capable of at 3am. Keep hitting the Caffeine and Redbull. Great quiz (five minutes was just perfect). Shropshire is alternatively called Salop (you can maybe use this as a bonus)

Personally I would have liked one more minute but that might just be me. Loved the quiz! Can't believe I mis-read counties as countries and accidentally missed out the harry potter question altogether :S

Fun stuff. Beyond "most missed," I wish it were possible to see which item in each category is guessed most often!

Really liked the variety in this, which is often missing from these quizes. Defs a 5 from me.

I must have tried 10 different spellings of Boutros Boutros Ghali for UN Secretary General. Is his last name hyphenated or something? Maybe you could do a bonus answer with him.

I wish Sporcle could track how many people gave each answer in a multiple-acceptable-answers quiz like this. That would be interesting...

@RadiationPuppy Yeah, I like quizzes where you get little cute overlaps like that. Plus, it is impossible to have a lot of interesting categories that don't overlap. I finished the 4-letter and the 6-letter Blitzes today, but I'm going to give the 5-letter version have a few days of glory before I release those.

Even though Boutros Boutros-Ghali has a hyphenated last name, and so not five letters, you should still include him, just........because

So apparently Derby County isn't actually a English county. I guess that's what I get for learning British geography through Sporcle sports quizzes.

Here's the 4-letter sequel release to go with the 5-letter one. I'll wait a few more days to put up the 6-letter one.

You put that bonus on there to punish people like me who enter the maid instead of one of the Brady kids, didn't you? But seriously, this was a very fun quiz. I just wish it didn't have to have a time limit since it was fun to go through at a leisurely pace and come up with an answer for each category. Definitely a sign that you've stumbled on to something good.
