	Wow, 9% of quiz-takers are missing the months of the year! People must be quitting before they reach the bottom.

	Eugene Cernan, ah... Great quiz though requiring a good range of knowledge.

	tulliuscicero:	May 23rd, 2011 at 20:20 GMT		32 points
	Not to nitpick, and I'm sure this'll be voted down, but as Jews also call our holy book the Bible, and since its last book is Malachi, could that be a bonus for Revelation.

	Right now over 25% of people don't know that Earth was discovered before all the other planets.

	Alfred the Great (or Alfred of Wessex) should be acceptable as the first King of England, since he was the first to unite the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms.

	ari18:	May 23rd, 2011 at 20:33 GMT		27 points
	Ditto Golden_Kumquat. There were plenty of people who could be called "King of England" before William the Conqueror. Alfred the Great makes a lot of sense. However, Egbert was the first of that line and and he ruled over a lot of Britain. Starting with William skips all of the native English houses...

	What standard was used to determine the first NHL Champion? One could make a strong argument for Toronto.

	jrchase:	May 23rd, 2011 at 20:36 GMT		30 points
	I couldn't remember which # Benedict was...I gave up tying roman numerals at XV. D'oh!

	darkseid225:	May 23rd, 2011 at 20:48 GMT		6 points
	@callmethor I would agree with you, as it seems that the standard used was the NHA, which Ottawa won that league's first title in 1910. The NHA would dissolve and become the NHL in 1918, with the first champion being Toronto that same year.

	I wonder who the first person to discover earth was...

	wiggytitch:	May 23rd, 2011 at 20:50 GMT		2 points
	Golden_Kumquat and ari18, in the game note it says that the monarchs are from 1066 onwards. William is also the first in the English monarchs quiz. But anyway, thanks for the publish, Sporcle!

	manwithaplan:	May 23rd, 2011 at 20:52 GMT		5 points
	Short point about the triple crown winners, it's ambiguous if the question wants the US triple crown (kentucky, preakness belmont), or as UK users would read it, the UK triple crown (2000 guinneaus, derby, st leger), which oh so sharp won in 1985, 7 years after affirmed. In fact, most other countries have a triple crown of some sort.

	cms479:	May 23rd, 2011 at 20:54 GMT		12 points
	Cool concept, but the phrasing is certainly awkward for some of the questions. Earth really doesn't make sense for "first planet discovered" discovered being the key word. And a lot of these lists are open ended so it should be "most recent" instead of "last" (US President, NHL Champion, etc).

	tillyandchuzzy:	May 23rd, 2011 at 20:55 GMT		6 points
	Completely agree with those above for the 'King of England' question. If you are going to have it from 1066 you should really state that.

	Aiwendil:	May 23rd, 2011 at 20:58 GMT		9 points
	As others have pointed out, William was most definitely not the first monarch of England. Also, while Delaware was the first state to adopt the Constitution, all thirteen of the original states were created simultaneously by the Lee-Adams resolution in 1776.

	Why not William of Normandy or William the Conquerer? These are the two names William I was more commonly known as...

	It's been said, but I really don't think you can have William I as the first king of England - I know it says "English monarchs since 1066" in the description, but that makes as much sense as putting "US Presidents since 1861" in the header and then having Lincoln as the answer. Otherwise though, excellent quiz!

	ashhyde:	May 23rd, 2011 at 21:33 GMT		13 points
	Its a bit miss leading to have the first monarch of England/Britain which are two different things. Technically Britain wasn't formed until the act of union in 1707 which would mean Queen Anne should also be an acceptable answer

	andym7:	May 23rd, 2011 at 21:36 GMT		14 points
	Since when was Britain and England the same thing?

	howard38:	May 23rd, 2011 at 21:51 GMT		11 points
	I typed in "Abbey Road" and got credit for "Let it Be".

	Technically the first Bond was David Niven from the original Casino Royale. Worth a bonus?

	tried 'Wings' for Red Wings... and it ended up being worth something! haha!

	This quiz has wrong information. The last element by atomic number should be Ununoctium, not Capernicium. Capernicium has an atomic number of 112, while Ununoctium has an atomic number of 118, making it the final element on the periodic table.

	@yellowdart5, I think he means their last released album as a band, "One" was not produced nor released by the Beatles. @howard38, that's because "Abbey Road" was the last recorded album, "Let It Be" was the last released album

	ali_brook:	May 23rd, 2011 at 22:22 GMT		5 points
	Teary_ennui - Technically the first actor to play James Bond was Barry Nelson. And, so far, the only American.

	During all the history of humankind until Copernicus, a "planet" was a heavenly body that shone like a star but moved against the background of the "fixed" stars. Therefore, the planets were Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. It's impossible to know which of them was the first to be "discovered" by the primitive man. But of course nobody thought of the Earth as a planet. It was only the steady ground under the feet, not a heavenly body.
