Sweet...i get to be the first one to complain...Ahem...here goes...Christ isn't Jesus' last name! Despite 98% of quiz takers getting it right, Him being the most guessed answer, AND displaying his picture on the quiz, i am STILL going to complain. How dare you, Quizmaster, offend my sensibilites and everything I stand for. Now make me more quizzes! There...i took care of it...now nobody else has to worry about it.
Vidav, don't start. If you're an atheist, fine, but don't take it to the comments and tick off half the people who read it (unless you want people to give you hate spiels).
And quite frankly, nowhere in the quiz does it say these have to be real people. If JB was Jason Bourne, you wouldn't be complaining about that, would you?
Aww, man. I tried to put together Spanish names that would work, and I actually thought of "Julio Iglesias," but I didn't know that was the name of a real person, so I didn't try it.
I find it strange that only 57% got Joe Biden, a lower percentage than Madison or Kennedy, when more recent people generally have an advantage in these quizzes.
Madison and Kennedy are listed as presidents, whereas Biden is listed as Vice President, an office whose holders are less likely remembered. Also, the word "veep" is used in the clue which not everyone might understand, especially non-Americans.
Froststar, it doesn't seem strange to me at all as a Brit who doesn't know what the word Veep means. I presume it's something from the US. I knew the Madison and Kennedy ones but then those questions were sensibly phrased.
The comment for Johnny Unitas should be changed. Earl Morrell was the starting QB for the Colts in SBIII before being replaced by Unitas after throwing three INTs. Unitas lead the Colts to their only TD after that. Therefore, I don't think the clue that he lost to Namath is really accurate. He started with a 16 point deficit. Could have a number of other facts about him instead.
True. Unitas QB'd the Colts to the first overtime win in NFL history in "the greatest game ever played" vs the Giants in the 1958 Championship Game, for one.
Aside from that, if this quiz were to have been done back when Lennon said that phrase, the percentage would very likely be higher.

I'm just amazed I got the football question right.
