That's how I always remember him too. And it's the anchor I use when I'm trying to order those presidents in the middle. 21 out of 42!

Same here. Thanks to Die Hard w/a Vengeance I shall never forget Chester A. Arthur, 21st President and a native New Yorker.

Well, I don't feel too bad considering the entire point of the quiz is that they're the least guessed

I’m surprised Hayes would be this less known. You would think people would know that he ended the reconstruction.

Strange that McKinley makes this list. He was a fairly important president, I thought more people knew about him.

Being known by 47% of the quiz takers isn't bad. Especially since the only thing many remember about him is that he was assassinated.

To be fair on Buchanan, just about no-one could prevent succession and the war.

Someone probably could have, but it would take an exceptional president. The run of presidents from William Henry Harrison through Buchanan was all pretty bad, with the notable exception of Polk. Pierce and Buchanan were especially inept when the nation was teetering on the brink of war, but if we had more competent leadership in the twenty years preceding the war, a lot of things could have gone differently.

I didn't even read the clues. I just typed the ones I had the hardest time remembering when I was doing the quiz where you just name them. I got 9/10..missed Harding, which is of course the one I always Miss when I re-take it.

Interesting when you compare the guessed % and the correct %. Mckinley is hugely out of place and arthur is a bit too high, but other than that, they are mostly in order.

I honestly didn't even read most of the clues, I just guessed which ones seemed like the least known.

The only reason I ever remember Hayes is because he's the protagonist of Karen Russell's very weird and very good short story 'The Barn at the End of Our Term,' in which several presidents have been inexplicably resurrected as horses in some kind of afterlife:

This quizz may create a paradox: every time a user atempts this quizz and guesses the presidents, then those presidents lose standing on the "least guessed presidents"...
