There was a bug that affected the first 132 people who took the quiz. Should be fixed now!

given that they all start with 19, could you accept just the second half of the year? eg "39" for the first one. not to mention that's how some people talk about years colloquially

That would be problematic if someone wanted to enter '19' as a guess for Amundsen, for example. Interpreting that as a guess when someone is typing in a 4-digit year would cause whammies.

The ballpark guesses all checked out pretty well this time; I lost only two lives.

for the Sputnik 1 question, I wrote 1959, and it considered it correct.

Your answer has to be within 10 years of the actual answer for it to be considered correct.

Do people not read descriptions or even titles anymore?
