	Opal gave me 2 answers, but then it wouldn't take ruby.

	MonteCresta:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 05:03 GMT	-1 points
	Birthstones threw me off. When I put in Opal and the Ruby, Onyx, Opal answer also came up I thought I didn't have to type Ruby.

	Hey, sorry. Slight glitch with the birthstones. Should be rock solid now.

	Hamilton27:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 05:07 GMT	9 points
	Obviously Awesome. Well Done. Sequels please...

	What an OFFA quiz! JK...

	msreicher:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 05:14 GMT	57 points
	Almost got em all. I was OFFA by one.

	bluerose2:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 05:41 GMT	6 points
	I would like to know your source for onyx as a birthstone. It's always been my understanding that turquoise was the birthstone for December and amethyst for February. However, searching 'onyx birthstone' in Google showed it could be either of those months. Fact check anyone?

	livfred:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 05:47 GMT	6 points
	Onyx through me off too. This source shows your list as "Mystical Birthstones", but in the 4-letter category would also include Jade (its "Modern" list does not show Onyx): http://www.jewelrymall.com/birthstones/allbirth.html

	MrsMcCartney1965:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 05:53 GMT	4 points

	Fun Quiz, thrown by Onyx but otherwise it was thoroughly enjoyed.

	JakeA:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 06:45 GMT	4 points
	Offa...never heard of that one

	Tats:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 06:45 GMT	57 points
	Only in charge from 774-796? Must be what they call a limited time Offa.

	BigKuntry42:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 06:55 GMT	2 points
	^^ Ha! I love puns.

	goofymuffin:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 07:07 GMT	5 points
	There's birthstones and then there's gemstones.

	RetroGirl:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 07:09 GMT	1 point
	I got 42/44. I should have gotten Anne. I don't feel too bad about missing Offa LOL Also, like many others, I'm confused by Onyx as a modern birthstone...

	InsertCleverName:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 07:16 GMT	9 points
	Well, at least I'm becoming a better sport...when I saw "Offa," I only spent five minutes flipping off the computer and hurling invective at no-one in particular. That's progress.

	BHughes:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 07:20 GMT	17 points
	Great quiz, but how can I rate it anything other than FOUR

	Offa was King of Mercia (roughly the English Midlands) and overlord of most of the other Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms (Wessex, Essex, Sussex, Kent, East Anglia and Lyndsey, but not Northumbria which covered roughly 1/3rd of England). He was the first man styled Rex Anglorum (King of England) and probably Bretwalda (leader or lord of Britain), However he is now rarely if ever considered to be the first King of all England. That honour goes to Egbert 35 years later. Knut is the Danish version of Canute who certainly was King of all England. It is probably as good an answer as Offa.

	milkmeister:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 08:35 GMT	10 points
	Whether you spell it Cnut or Knut (I tried both variants) if Offa is in there, Cnut/Knut certainly qualifies one would have thought. Thanks for the info on Offa zeppelinoid!

	Teary_Ennui:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 08:55 GMT	13 points
	In Britain, we normally start the monarchs from William I (1066). Fair play, you tricked us but I definitely would expect to see Knut if Offa was there (I even tried knut on a whim)

	WeaselKing1000:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 08:55 GMT	2 points
	@jamesj0324 Generally it seems that the three Caucasus countries are just too far east to be unquestionably in Europe. And Azerbaijan would definitely be the least 'European' of those three.

	zeppelinoid:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 09:01 GMT	-1 points
	Baku is in the European part of Azerbaijan and should be included as an answer.

	zeppelinoid:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 09:06 GMT	2 points
	WeaselKing1000: Similar proportions of the land areas of Azerbaijan and Georgia are in Europe, and none of Armenia is in Europe at all so how is Azerbaijan the least 'European' of the three?

	turner89:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 09:55 GMT	19 points
	I think Lady Jane Grey should be more than a bonus answer.

	Tolstoy:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 10:10 GMT	2 points
	@zeppelinoid: which definition of Europe are you working from? they vary wildly (some even contain part of kazakhstan), but most do not count any of the caucasus contries as being in europe.

	evil_fruit_girl:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 10:19 GMT	1 point
	I have a minor in history and have never heard of Offa, I feel the need to do some independent post-graduate study now. I almsot missed the Cubs, a mistake my Chicago fan family could never forgive.

	Imperium:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 10:37 GMT	5 points
	While Offa may have claimed the title 'Rex Anglorum' this is more likely to mean King of the Angles than King of England. Northumbria was definately independent, and the apart from Mercia, Offa did not directly rule any of the other kingdoms. Really, the only documents he's referred to as King of England in are 10th Century forgeries. Not a good answer, and Cnut is known in England as Canute.

	Zalx:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 10:48 GMT	20 points
	I don't mind too much if these quizzes are in alphabetical order or not, but when everything else is I don't like one to be out of order. I didn't get Ruby because I already had Opal and Onyx so was looking for something before 'O' in the alphabet. Incidently you have no idea how many times I have gone over the alphabet in my head in order to make sure I am right about this and don't look stupid.

	Ribhump:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 11:22 GMT	5 points
	King Cnut, King of England from 1016. And having studied that period in the UK i can say Cnut is definitely an accepted English spelling for him.

	pita:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 11:23 GMT	3 points
	Zalx is absolutely right, be consistent about alpha order. Also, it's tough to know how many are in each category because states didn't have a line under the last one, but the others did, so I never knew for sure if I got them all in a category, except I was pretty sure I hit the end at zinc. I don't know if that's a sporcle thing on Firefox where the lines aren't always consistent--sometimes there isn't a line separating two in the middle. Good quiz.
