The results should show the people's names. Not everyone of this people are universally known.

Yeah, fortunately there are links on the pictures, but something more explicit would be nice.

I did pretty well, but I didn't know who about half of the people were.

And I still don't. Without the results telling us the information, I feel like I haven't learned anything from taking the quiz, which is the whole point of the quizzes.

Exactly what I was going to say. Churning out tile quizzes without explaining the answers doesn't help anyone who doesn't already know all the answers.

Yeah, another vote for names with the answers. 75% of the ones

I missed, I had no idea who they were, and I still don’t.

you're so right - why are there still no names?

Level 71
Jun 27, 2021
I definitely agree. There were a lot of people I didn't recognize, and I had to manually click on the image and look at the Wikipedia link to figure out who they were. It was rather tedious, and would have been more convenient to be able to see names at the end.

I chuckled at a few of the photos as bait. I liked Leonardo DiCaprio for the Italy one and David Hasselhoff for the Germany one.

Putting Hasselhoff in Germany was pure genius. Bravo.

Well I missed that one, mostly because I didn't recognise Heidi Klum. I knew it was probably wrong, but still went for the wrong one.

I also didn't know that Tendulkar guy, and Geri Halliwell is totally unrecognisable (I know that wikipedia uses what they can, and mostly recent pictures, but come on, that's not how most people remember her). So yeah, I also messed those two.

Cue the "Hugh Jackman is technically 'from' the UK because he has UK citizenship".

I don't think that's what "from" means. You can be a UK citizen from any other country.

Lucked out on this and only missed one, though there were several people I didn't recognize I was able to make reasonable guesses. My one miss was Michelangelo. I don't remember ever seeing a portrait of him before.

There are at least 2 errors that I see, and likely more. Van Gogh was Dutch. DiCaprio is American.

Hey Sachin Tendulkar wasn't born in UK. He was born in Mumbai. And he still enjoys the Indian passport.

This isn't a very good quiz, it's confusing as to which answers are correct/incorrect. Also, it would be nice to know which country the other people are from.

Yeah... if I asked my Canadian friend if he considered himself American, I'm sure I'd get a slap for it. No Canadian I ever met says "I'm from USA".

BTW, 'From' a place technically means born there and at least spent some of your life there, and Leo diCaprio might have Italian ancestry but he's also half German and Russian - and he's 100% American born and raised. Greta Thunburg is also 100% Swedish, not German.

Try reading the instructions, if everybody was from the country they appeared under, what would the point of the quiz be?

Wow, lots of these comments are from people who are having trouble reading the quiz results accurately. Maybe the big green check marks and big red Xs should be for the tiles that match the criteria, and plain-text "You got it right" or "You got it wrong" could help those people? Or leave them to the wolves because it was obvious enough.

I like how half the comments are "Names would be helpful when it's over" (which I completely agree with) and the other half are "Person X is NOT from country Y" (because apparently they couldn't understand the point of the quiz)

Talk about dumb luck. I got 34 correct the first time I took this quiz a few months ago. Today, I just made the assumption that there must be 5 people in each slide from the specified country and then made educated (or blind guesses) for those I didn't know. I was only confident in 17 of the 25 "correct" answers, but somehow managed to get the other 8 as well.
