Love the picture of James Burke. That takes me back...

Thanks for the shout-out pic of James Burke!

Those who aren't familiar should look up his series from the late 1970s, "Connections."

Happy to see the James Burke love in the comments!

Please accept Francois for the French king. That was his name (Francois premier)

Level 53

May 16, 2024

Definitely. You can't say Francois is wrong unless you specify the English spelling. Gotta say though, a degree of separation is for people who have a relationship. You can't have a relationship with a comet.

Level 73

May 16, 2024

But the comet's namesake was a person.

Level 87

May 16, 2024

agree!

Level 75

May 17, 2024

I agree, I missed this one because I tried Francois instead of Francis.

Level 73

Could you go easy on us and accept misspellings of Halley like "Haley" and "Hailie"

Level 61

May 16, 2024

Great quiz idea, well made!

Level 60

May 16, 2024

Could you make Arthur an accepted spelling?

Level 50

May 16, 2024

I would caution the use of subjective terms like 'dictator' re: Castro. Not stating any personal opinion, it can just be fodder for ugly debate.

Level 65

May 17, 2024

Great quiz! Maybe you could accept Francois I, as well as Francis I.

Have to salute the captain, James Burke o/
