Finally one of these Sudden Death quizzes that hasn't eaten me alive!

This one was awesome, thank you!

This one was easy for me too.

Maybe a few more "distractors" could make it a little tougher, though I can't think of any off the cuff.

That's what I was going for with Franklin. Most of the rest are just failed presidential candidates and popular last names.

(Also, nice to see a fellow free stater!)

Franklin was a good one not only because of Ben Franklin, but also because of the Franklins Pierce and Roosevelt. If you're looking for other good "distractors," Hamilton would probably be a good one.

Perhaps some vicepresidents or UK prime ministers. Perhaps even (somewhat) famous names from sport or literature might work. Names that you ve heard before, but can't quite remember in connection to what. The ones that "work" (trick you) ofcourse depends on how bad you are in those particular fields.

Franklin is the (first) name of multiple US Presidents. Can you clarify that only last names are included in a caveat instead of just names?

Shouldn't it be blazingly obvious considering they're all surnames and nobody calls them "President firstname"?

It was obvious to me but maybe not for other people and Franklin is technically the name of a president

Actually two - as a first name. (Pierce and Roosevelt)

Yeah, I think it's alright. If not, it's a good exercise in reading context.

Remember that the names of dead US presidents are not 'blazingly obvious' to most of the world. People may know that Franklin (i.e. Benjamin) was a founding father and important figure in early US politics but won't necessarily know he wasn't a president. So it's a good red herring.

You could also consider adding Hamilton (and maybe other characters from the musical) for similar reasons.

Maybe famous US generals like MacArthur or Patton? People might assume they all followed Eisenhower's lead?!

There is great misdirection in the non-presidents. Here's who I think of:

William Jennings Bryan, Henry Clay, Christopher Columbus, Jefferson Davis, Ben Franklin, Thurgood Marshall, Brigham Young... others are common American last names that one could think of as possible presidents too. (I'm sure others can ascribe American figures here as well, such as Joseph Smith, Scott Walker, etc.)

Both the Mormons on the bottom row were a funny touch, even though only one of them ever ran for President.

for some reason i thought this quiz was about all the presidents who had died suddenly, once i figured that out it was a great quiz!

Let's see. Kennedy, J.Q. Adams… maybe Lincoln? There's probably more who just had a stroke or something.

Franklin is a tricky one cause you have Franklin Pierce and also Ben Franklin. I was going for speed and it almost tricked me.
