OK, so usually in these quizzes, just the last name is accepted, but if you're going to insist on full names, then William Harrison is known as William Henry Harrison here in the states. It refused to accept it with the Henry included.

Even "William Harrison" is not accepted. I tried so many combinations of Pres. Harrison's name.

Yes, please be consistent in how you want your responses. This business of having some be both first and last, and others ONLY be the last name, is ridiulous. Boo.

Harrison, Bush, Clinton and York did not work at all and should be fixed so that they do work

Typed in George W. Bush and it wasn't accepted, but it turned up as the answer once I stopped the quiz to check. Also William Henry Harrison was not accepted.

lmao I like it says "last names should be accepted" and then most of the last names are not accepted. And not all the questions are even factually accurate (e.g. the Abraham Lincoln one, the Civil War was still going on).

What's up with this - you specifically say that the player can use the last name only, AND THEN IT DOESN'T ACCEPT THEM? Seriously? And no matter how often I typed George W Bush, George Walker Bush, George Bush, george w bush, george bush - even "george bush jr" (which is WRONG but since nothing else was working) imagine my astonishment when the very name I've been typing properly shows up as correct, and yet it would not accept it when I typed it over and over... really annoying. I'm hoping there's a glitch and this wasn't done just to upset people... and yeah, if you're going to force full names, it is WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON. Nobody leaves out the middle name.

Strange requiring two names for most answers, and then not accepting two names on two of the answers.
