Proud to have missed the duck call clue. Also, I was under the impression that Lyndon Johnson killed JFK. At least, that's what Oliver Stone told me.

And Oliver Stone was right. Oswald was just the weapon. At least that's what the voices told me.

I didn't know Johnson, Oswald, Ruby, Castro, Bush, Cordell Walker, Kruschev and probably Oliver Stone himself were all from New Orleans.

Don't understand why it was necessary to know Phil Robertson's first name.

Yes, when I typed "Robertson" and it wasn't accepted, I assumed I was wrong and moved on.

Why are so many of the people on these quizzes repeated? Tyler Perry has been on two, Lincoln was on three, etc.

Born one place. Moved. Lincoln was born in Kentucky, came from Illinois. I think he lived in Indiana at some point. Perry was from Louisiana but made a name for himself in Atlanta.

I knew Britney Spears and Ellen DeGeneres but didn't get them from the 'hints'.

I had forgotten all about Ellen being the voice of Dory. I just guessed her because I figured she had to be on the list somewhere in my missing boxes.
