Too much time. If you know like 70% of the list, then there's enough time to spam the alphabet to get the last few.

Even if you only know 10% you can finish it by spamming the alphabet.

So true. I knew everyone here except Willam Burroughs, but was able to get the answer by guessing all the letters.

Gasp! The Americans are trying to claim Michael Fox! If you get him we should get to claim someone of equal value. We want… Patton Oswalt.

And Arthur Clarke! But he's not that alive anymore so I won't insist on a trade.

Huh. It doesn’t look like Clarke even moved to the US… he moved to Sri Lanka for like 50 years to scuba dive and do undersea exploration. What a life he had.

I knew about 8 or 9, got the rest by guessing random letters. I suggest less time.

Nice quiz!

I feel like this quiz could be better off as a click quiz. Having one chance to get the right letter instead of spamming letters for ones you don’t know.

If you really want to game the system, you can copy and paste "qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm" and just press the DEL key from the beginning of the line.

You can't have Arthur C. Clarke, as mentioned above. He was in no way American. How about Robert (A.) Heinlein as a replacement?

Since I got all the previous questions without even looking at the dates, when I saw "Michael Jordan" at the end, I tried typing "J" a couple times, before realizing it was looking for the dude born in 1987, not the one born in 1963, LOL.
