	Wow that was a tough one... Great variety of different clues.

	Sadly, I spotted the Mambo #5 reference right away

	I kind of wonder how many people recognized "resistor colors" and how many people just started naming colors

	Man was that a good but tough one. I love the pithy explanations as answers: "Inquisition weapons" just makes me giggle. If you don't have at least a glimmer of the background joke, you might think it was real. (I kept trying "comfy red chair" variations, myself). I'd have gotten the French month if only... I had them in the right ordewr in English (face palm)... Kept trying variations of June. I need to slap myself.

	If being as eclectic as possible made a great quiz, you would have one of the best. Unfortunately this just turns out to be way too random. When over 50% of the clues are guessed by 10% or less of the people it isn't fun. I know that this creator has done a lot of good ones though.

	craigmeister:	Jun 24th, 2011 at 06:23 GMT		5 points
	WOW. I thought I was doing well to recognize the category to which the examples belong. A lot of those great questions where you think, "I should probably know that". Got 9. :(

	5daughters:	Jun 24th, 2011 at 06:36 GMT		1 point
	I only did as well as I did because of lucky guessing - oh, and I know Hebrew, so that one I actually knew!

	tiffwi:	Jun 24th, 2011 at 07:00 GMT		2 points
	@addicted1: My thoughts exactly. It was just too random to be fun.

	KansasJayhawk:	Jun 24th, 2011 at 07:01 GMT		2 points
	I disagree with the comment that says this is too eclectic. It was a good challenge and a lot of fun - and I admit that I caught myself singing Mambo #5 out loud while trying to figure that one out.

	Even someone familiar with the Police Academy movies would have a tough time with that one, sproutcm. It was a direct-to-video sequel made years after the rest of them. Yes, I am ashamed to know that, just as I am ashamed that I got it anyway. But, you know, just sayin'.

	I don't understand the link between the hitchhiker books one, they seem to be just random words picked from the titles, with no particular rule for which word

	uhh sword was also a d-day beach but u didn't take it... thats the only other one i could think of.

	Well that was hard...I got 12/50 and am still in the 80th percentile.

	@tsneller Actually, the words aren't random. Those are the last words in each of the Hitchhiker books. This is the sequel to my very first published Sporcle quiz and I made this quiz like a year and a half ago. I agree that it is hard and challenging, but if any of you have learned about me over that last year and a half, it is that I love knowledge and helping people learn and be exposed to new things. There are plenty of quizzes on Sporcle that are easy, but there are very few that are hard and fun, and make you dust cobwebs off of the inner recesses of your brain. I just try to make all the different types of Sporclers happy.

	I really thought I was terrible at this and landed in the 98%. I appreciate something that is very difficult and pulls from all realms. Was expecting to see, NES, SuperNES, Gamecube...

	zadie:	Jun 24th, 2011 at 13:07 GMT		2 points
	Very hard, but fun! I can relate to being able to figure out what the category is, but still having no idea of the answer...

	Tommy_C:	Jun 24th, 2011 at 13:16 GMT		1 point
	Definitely need to include both Sword and Juno beaches. My grandfather was on Juno beach. Too many people lost their lives on Sword beach just to leave it out. It's a tough call on the difficulty. When 60% of your answers are at less than 10%, is your quiz a little too obscure? I had 16, and recognized the pattern but didn't know the answer on another 5 or so, but I found myself skimming over a lot and hitting the give up button because I knew so few. I'll give it a 4 for being well put together, but it won't be highly rated by people getting 8-10 correct.

	sproutcm:	Jun 24th, 2011 at 13:21 GMT		9 points
	@Tommy_C While I agree, as that is where my grandfather landed, that Sword is an important and honored part of history. However, each one of the things on this quiz is an ordered list. (The beaches are listed in order, and Sword is the one after Juno as you head east.) The goal is not to think of another thing in the category, but specifically the very next thing in the category. That is why the quiz is so very challenging.

	It is curious that since 1775 the name that most popes chose (by far) to call themselves was Pius: seven out of 16 (while there were only two Leos, two Benedicts, etc.) However, since 1958 (Pius XII) the name wasn't used anymore. Seemingly nobody wanted to be called Pius XIII. Fear of number 13 bringing bad luck? Supposedly popes shouldn't believe in those superstitions...

	Did not understand the morse code. It could of been any random dits or dashes. the word @sproutcm you are spelling out is OJP which makes no sense!

	sproutcm:	Jun 24th, 2011 at 14:05 GMT		3 points
	@peteclark They are in order. You are given M, N and O, and you have to provide P. Not that I know Morse code, and my last name is Morse. I got that one wrong on my own quiz.
