	Great quiz! I hope you don't mind my pointing out a typo, but in your explanation for Charleston you typed "captial" instead of "capital." I only got 9 correct!

	tk_go_giants:	Jun 7th, 2011 at 07:26 GMT		8 points
	I tried to guess Juneau for the highest capital, but it cut me off at June and gave me an incorrect answer for the Oktoberfest question. Then, I tried typing Charleston and got an incorrect answer for King George's first name. Not a huge deal, especially since those weren't very logical guesses, but it might be worth taking a look at. Interesting quiz overall.

	slamb:	Jun 7th, 2011 at 11:31 GMT		11 points
	You give the correct answer when a wrong one is given, why not give the correct answer when the question is left blank?

	apbadogs:	Jun 7th, 2011 at 12:45 GMT		6 points
	Wow, these are questions people actually thought they knew? I must be dumb! :)

	MSUKent:	Jun 7th, 2011 at 13:08 GMT		1 point
	I know Milwaukee is incorrect, but nothing happens when I type it in for the original city of the Braves. Seems like it should trigger the "actual answer" response.

	@slamb I wish I could but that's not how the "wrong answer" feature on Sporcle works. It shows nothing if you don't answer the question. @tk_go_giants Yeah, I'd say that none of the reasonable answers you'd type in for any of the questions should set off other answers. There was already a question about Charleston, so not likely to get used again. It adds to the challenge of avoiding wrong answers.

	I conned myself out of the correct answer in Aliens.

	ras0723:	Jun 7th, 2011 at 19:38 GMT		2 points
	have you considered making this quiz forced order, just to prevent the type of problem that tk_go_giants had? same thing happened to me (tried to guess US for the panama hat question and it filled in the element answer as wrong, and i also tried to guess henry for dr. livingstone and it filled in the king george answer as wrong). and i agreee with slamb, i'd love to see the answers for the ones i left blank... since you can't possibly come up with every wrong answer, maybe consider adding "PASS" or something similar as an incorrect answer, and indicate in the directions that you can enter that if you'd like to give up on a question and see the answer, like what you have for the other wrong answers. fun quiz!

	sproutcm:	Jun 7th, 2011 at 20:02 GMT		6 points
	@ras0723 I like your idea of having a PASS option. I'll add that in now, and I'll make it forced order and add a little time to avoid that problem. People always hate forced order quizzes so I was avoiding it.

	ras0723:	Jun 7th, 2011 at 22:15 GMT		1 point
	normally i hate forced order, too, but when wrong answers are enabled i think it ends up being necessary sometimes. :)

	Why isn't "Cyprus" accepted for the element question? It was named after "cuprum", Latin for "copper".

	sproutcm:	Jun 8th, 2011 at 02:05 GMT		1 point
	@KansasJayHaqk. Nope other way around. Copper is named after cyprus.

	What are the wrong answer triggers for Aliens? I had no idea who directed it, but guessed Speilberg.

	Strattosphere:	Jun 10th, 2011 at 03:00 GMT		1 point
	But Romeo kills Paris, too. He also kills Romeo

	The official capital of South Africa is actually Pretoria. I looked it up.

	Definitely agree with adhair - I am wondering what the incorrect answers are for The Invisible Man author and the element.

	LiamAllen:	Jun 15th, 2011 at 18:43 GMT		2 points
	I was just wondering what the incorrect answer for the question about who Romeo killed first was. It's not often I find myself wondering what the WRONG answer is. Great idea for a quiz.

	dpark:	Jul 20th, 2011 at 01:05 GMT		1 point
	@James: I believe the incorrect answer for The Invisible Man is Ralph Ellison, whose magnum opus is "Invisible Man." The two novels are often mixed up. As for the element, the incorrect answer is zinc (that's what I answered...)

	Really cool and fun- but just capitalize Mercutio in the wrong answer for the Romeo question.
