Was working on the same quiz idea and did a search before I finalized mine. I've got an idea how I can rework mine so it will be different from this quiz. I'll nominate this one as well.
Would've been better with people further apart so that they could actually be worked out. When people miss each other by less than 5 years or overlap by less than 5 years it's just a guessing game *shrug*.
Yeah you make a good point. At the time I made this, I hadn't really thought about the fact that you'd probably do better on this quiz if you knew when each person was born and when they died, which not a lot of people do given the stats. I'll probably give this an update at some point in the future with new names added to the questions.
Good job
