Very enjoyable and difficult quiz. Some of the names don't seem to work - I put in both Washington and Ruth, and neither appeared.

Thanks for taking! Made changes so "Washington" works for George Washington (it already worked for Booker T.), and "Ruth" works for Babe Ruth.

Check out my Women Composers quiz, too!

Agree. I also did Washington and Ruth and they didn't work.

"King" doesn't work for "Martin Luther King" and "Presley" doesn't work for "Elvis Presley". Besides that, cool quiz! I'm surprised they didn't include Malcolm X.

Fixed!

My list would be pretty different than this one.

In terms of influence I don't think you can ignore Billy Graham and Mark Zuckerberg.

Could you make just "Lewis" or just "Clark" work for Lewis and Clark? It feels strange having to guess two names for one slot

I think F. Scott Fitzgerald and Aaron Copland should be in this list. I too couldn't understand why Lewis and Clark didn't make the list as individuals.

Very good quiz anyway! Makes you think.

Jolly fun. I wish that one could type in "Lewis" or "Clark" and leave it at that. I tried Hoover, Chavez, Sequoia, Chief Joseph, and Ali, and was surprised that they were not on there. One could argue for hours about the list. fun quiz!
