	You probably have a bunch already, but can you add "Children's shows" as an alternate to the Captain Kangaroo Q?

	DwightShelford:	May 28th, 2011 at 04:27 GMT	9 points
	I tried Biblical Characters for 24 and it didn't take it.

	DTNelson:	May 28th, 2011 at 04:31 GMT	7 points
	I suggest that "firearms manufacturers" and "firearm manufacturers" should be accepted for "gun manufacturers."

	Could you accept "children's tv hosts"?

	@matg Care to be more specific with your complaint?

	tim0786:	May 28th, 2011 at 05:50 GMT	3 points
	I only typed in "secret agents" because I read all the comments, but I have to say that first of all you both misspelled Brosnan in the comments, and Thomas Crown is not a secret agent, he's a businessman, but more importantly to that movie, an art thief. I don't think that clue should be there... Also, thank you for reminding me how much I love Tribond!

	It really tripped me up that Mike Wallace is a promising new WR for the Steelers, and the Steelers have been owned for a century by Rooneys. Curse you 60 minutes!

	Thank you, Sporcle for the publish and for adding a few more alternates. Everyone: I really did put lots and lots of alternates. It's very hard to think of every single way that so many players will word things. There is a limit in the answer box, but I did try. All I ask is that if you try one thing and it doesn't work, please try it in a bit different way. Originally, I actually had wanted this to be more challenging and for people to guess the very specific bond (such as toys with people's names, not just toys, and Hanna Barbera characters, not just cartoon characters), but I ended up putting in a whole lot of alternates and accepted very simple answers for most of them because I didn't want people to become too frustrated. But, like I said, it's hard to put down every possible wording. Thank you for playing. :)

	Pogues:	May 28th, 2011 at 06:05 GMT	6 points
	Frustrating...but not because it was tedious...but because connections were....RIGHT THERE....and I had to dig into the recesses of my brain for some of the answers. 5 Globes.

	triviahappy:	May 28th, 2011 at 06:08 GMT	9 points
	I forgot to add that I also put in quite a few prompts to help people that were close with their answers, but weren't quite on the right track for the common bond so that it would help them guess the bond (for instance, if one typed characters or book characters for #2, a prompt will come up asking for which author is common to those characters. I hoped that would be helpful. :)

	bfair15:	May 28th, 2011 at 06:12 GMT	5 points
	This might be my favorite quiz I've ever had on Sporcle!

	triviahappy:	May 28th, 2011 at 06:12 GMT	2 points
	tim0786: I know that Thomas Crown isn't a secret agent, but I thought someone might guess that, so that is why I put that prompt in. I was trying to steer them to the actual bond. Sorry about misspelling Brosnan in my comments. I love Tribond too!! :)

	kezmicdust:	May 28th, 2011 at 07:04 GMT	5 points
	I think you should accept "Disney" for Disney heroines. I tried Disney women, Disney ladies, animated girls etc...

	CreakyD:	May 28th, 2011 at 07:38 GMT	-4 points
	Dang. Only missed the 'hounds' one. And I got the 'doctor' one because when I saw 'phlox', I thought of Dr. Phlox from Enterprise. I'm awesome. Really good quiz.

	beatrixkiddo:	May 28th, 2011 at 08:28 GMT	2 points
	ah - i put in banknotes for the 'not all presidents' question - could you allow that as an alternative answer?

	bandersnatch:	May 28th, 2011 at 09:48 GMT	7 points
	Not all monkeys have prehensile tails. Also, the three animals both tend to be arboreal/tree-dwelling, and omnivorous, although again, doesn't apply to ALL monkeys (it's a really broad term..) And can you believe I only just noticed the triplets go in chains? Neat :D

	triviahappy:	May 28th, 2011 at 11:49 GMT	3 points
	kezmicdust: I can't make changes now that it's published. Sorry. But it does accept heroines and Disney heroines, princesses, and Disney princesses, as well as a couple of other things. :)

	davebesag:	May 28th, 2011 at 11:55 GMT	3 points
	Can you accept written documents as well as famous documents.

	singin185:	May 28th, 2011 at 12:13 GMT	9 points
	Most of these accept the singular form, except 22. You have to type "guns" as "gun" is not accepted.

	kurokali:	May 28th, 2011 at 12:27 GMT	-4 points
	Good quiz, but I don't think that there needs to be that much time. I finished with almost 6 minutes to spare.

	UsainBolt:	May 28th, 2011 at 13:20 GMT	2 points
	Very good quiz, even the hints were great. For those having issues, simply reword your guesses. Nice brain workout.

	Penny:	May 28th, 2011 at 13:24 GMT	9 points
	For the people who aren't finding a match to their specific wording, maybe try paring your initial answer down to the bare minimum, single word if possible, pertinent answer. E.g., "Dickens," not "characters in Dickens books," etc. You're much more likely to match the intended answer with a short one rather than a multi-word one if there are multiple possible ways of saying it. Enter last names only, and so on, unless directed otherwise.
