Dang. Missed Ulrich because I thought it was spelled Urich.

L was a bit random among all the world leaders 🤔

The quiz maker is probably a fan, if he chose him as the thumbnail on top of that...

I have to say, the quiz is cool, but if it were to be featured, that one should indeed be replaced, the stats speak for themselves.

Yeah, I originally added Lightfoot because I wanted to include people famous for different reasons and also from different parts of the world (Canada). I have now replaced him with someone who should be much more recognizable. I also changed the W to keep the balance between different sorts of people. But I think my new W will be much more recognizable than Lightfoot. (I don't actually remember why I put him as the thumbnail. I must have just remembered to add the thumbnail after adding him.)

As for Lars Ulrich, I would like to replace him, but there seems to be a deficit of famous people who start with U. If anyone can think of someone better, please let me know. For the record, I would never have guessed him, I only found him off a list of last names that start with U.

You know, I looked up people who could've replaced Lars in this quiz but I don't think I found a decent person to have.

I'm sure there's someone else who might be a better fit for the L person, though.

I think Ulrich works fine, but Lightfoot should be replaced.

Must be very short of famous individuals for 'I' if Irwin finds a place among this honoured throng. Known in Australia for being unable to keep his hands off the mammals, birds, reptiles etc. against the best principles of nature investigators.

Qin Shi Huang's name is Ying Zheng. It's like putting Louis XIV under S for "Roi Soleil"
