	I think you dramatically underestimated how hard it is to anagram long strings of letters with no indication as to number of words, lengths of words, presence of proper nouns.... I got, well, the two eight-letter ones, and then started Googling once I realized that clicking "give up" wouldn't even tell me the right answers. By the time I'd worked out eight of them, I still don't even know who "considers them perfect"; they seem to just be someone's list of favorite albums. All of which comes together to make this one of the more deeply flawed quizzes I've seen in a while.

	It's meant to be difficult, but it's not meant to be testing knowledge so much as it's supposed to be a puzzle. Each of these anagrams was solved in about half the time provided by the handful of people I tested this on (figuring out the source really helps), so I don't think it's THAT hard. I added a final question directly leading people to the source question, since that is supposed to be the point of the whole thing: working backwards to figure out the theme.

	I don't understand why you'd keep the correct answers hidden from people after the quiz finishes as opposed to just having 'correct' show up. Isn't the point of a quiz that you find out the correct answers you missed once time runs out? I've still got no idea what the 'hidden theme' is because all the answer box says is 'You Win' at the end of the quiz, when in fact you haven't won. As you can se from the stats also, more than 50% of people taking this quiz have got less than 2 answers correct which isn't the signs of a good quiz.

	If you come up with the answer, both the YOU WIN box and a secret box will open. The secret box will confirm your answer and will give you a code that will immediately fill in all the anagrams. Not revealing the answers was a risk (maybe a mistake), but remember, the point of this quiz isn't doing the anagrams, but rather using them to figure out the ultimate question. Finally, I very much disagree that difficulty makes a quiz bad.

	Yeah fair enough. I think the problem there lies is that it's impossible to get the source if you can't work out the anagrams. And the anagrams are impossible because like Tahnan said we've no idea what we're supposed to be naming with just the year as a clue. For all we know we could be naming films, TV shows, people, songs, bands, albums, novels, inventions, comic book characters, film or television characters, broadway musicals etc the list is endless. You really need to give quiztakers a bit more to work with because this quiz is unplayable if you cannot even get started.
