I'm beyond tired of seeing people complain about the American-centric quizzes and/or clues. NEWSFLASH: This is an American website! Stop complaining about clues or quizzes that seem to be geared toward an American audience when you are on a US based website.
Why do the answers need to be people who are internationally famous? That would be extremely limiting. All it says are famous Pauls. Doesn't matter where they are from. As long as they are considered famous in their respective countries or fields of expertise, they are fair game.
