I think it's not possible to solve it. Because, first certain one is the one who resigned, Nixon, and then Biden fits only to former VP out of all options. After that, each choice fits more than one president, and each president fits to more than one choice, so it's not possible to make another step with 100 %.

a) 2 full terms: Obama, Clinton, Bush jr., Reagan

b) Between JFK and GHWB: Johnson, Ford, Carter, Reagan

c) Republican: Trump, Bush sr., Bush jr., Ford, Reagan

d) Not directly elected: Johnson, Ford

e) Impeached: Clinton, Trump

f) Vietnam War: Kennedy, Johnson, Ford

g) Nobel prize: Carter, Obama

h) 1970s: Ford, Carter

i) Shot: Kennedy, Reagan, Trump

j) Former VP: Johnson, Ford, Bush sr.

k) Governor: Carter, Reagan, Clinton, Bush jr.

Obama: a,g

Clinton: e,k

Trump: c,e,i

Bush sr.: c,j

Bush jr.: a,c,k

Ford: b,c,f,h

Carter: b,g,h,k

Kennedy: f,i

Johnson: b,d,f

Reagan: a,b,c,i,k

Hi, thanks for commenting. Admittedly, it is a challenging quiz, probably too challenging in the time limits. The main difference between your comments and the quiz solution is that the Nobel Prize question is "Won Nobel Peace Prize After Time in Office" - which only leaves Carter as Obama won it during his term. So once you chose Carter for this option, there are a couple of ways to solve it.

For example, if you chose Carter for Nobel prize first and also pick Nixon for "resigned from office" - then you are left with Ford for "president during 1970s" etc.

Also, I don't think one needs it but the only correct option for Obama is "served two full terms" so that's possibly an alternative route.

When I was making the quiz, I didn't love the "after leaving office" Nobel prize question but it was one of few ways I could ensure quiz had a solution.

I have increased the time limit to 7 minutes.
