Here are the 10 most upvoted commments of 2013. We have a sneaking suspicion an upvote factory is located somewhere near Bishkek.


1. From: Spacebar Challenge II

BanjoZebra: Thanks,Sporcle.Ithinkyouallknowwhathappened….

emeryAdmit it, how many of us hit ‘2’ for the capital Q?


5. From: Spacebar Challenge II

Bobman1Not to be a spoiler here, but on that first question, I could have sworn it was DiCaprio. And that Ruth Bader Ginsberg one was just really, really clever. A shame I missed it. The third answer, of course, was spacebar. Nailed that one.


6. From: Escape or DIE!!

strags11: I wound up in Kyrgyzstan. Pretty typical for a Sporcle agent, really


7. From: Lightswitch Settings

AllShamNoWowToo U.S. centric.


8. From: Find the Fruits, Veto the Veggies

kromclovinfashoKnowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.


9. From: Countries Larger Than Texas

JoeFdI feel sorry for the 10% of people who didn’t realize that the US was bigger than Texas


10. From: Head-to-Toe Blitz

SomeChaz I thought this would be easier in front of a mirror; but I forgot how distractingly beautiful I am.


 

Top Blog Posts

We wrote plenty on the Blog in 2013 ranging from our official definition of a country, to our official definition of a sandwich. Check out our favorite posts below.

1. Sporcle “Countries of the World” Geography Standard
When we decided to include Palestine as a country on Sporcle, we knew that there would be some controversy, so we published our reasoning behind the change in this blog post.

2. A Message from our Founder Matt Ramme
When we hit a billion plays (a huge milestone!) in April, our founder Matt Ramme took to the blog to write out some of his thoughts on the big occasion.

3. Greenland is NOT a Country
Sporcle moderator/editor Hejman took to the blog to discuss some of the more…amusing…reported quiz mistakes. Greenland? Still not a country.

4. From Sea to Shining Sealand
Sporcle moderator Lisl Stadler decided to look into the background of one of the most famous micronations, and lived to tell the tale.

5. What is a Sandwich?
After some furious internal debate about some of the inclusions on our Sandwich Time quiz, we decided to cement a Sporcle ‘sandwich standard’ to go along with our country standard. Hot Dog? Still a sandwich.
