I just want to comment that the quiz, in most cases, only accepts the second (and/or maternal) family name as the answer for each president. It would be nice if you could allow the first (and/or paternal) family name of each president as answers, given that in Hispanic countries, that is considered the main family name. Thank you.
Of course. In some countries like Spain, Portugal and in many countries that were conquered by them (like Colombia, which was a colony of Spain); the naming customs are different from England and the U.S.A.
In Spain, Portugal, Colombia and in most of Latin America, people (generally) have one or two personal names and *two* last names/family names/surnames (the first surname is usually the paternal one, while the second surname tends to be the maternal one. However, if a child's father does not legally recognize the baby, Colombian law dictates that the baby should take the mother's two surnames, so that way what used to happen before that law does not occur: that people know if a person has not been legally recognized by their father because they would only have one family name (their mother's first surname) instead of the usual 2 surnames.)
*So what is going on with this quiz is that it *only* accepts an answer if it has the second or *both* surnames of a president*.
In contrast, in Latin America people generally just take into account a person's first personal name and their first/paternal surname. So for instance:
Former president Cesar Augusto Gaviria Trujillo:
1. Cesar (1st personal name)
2. Augusto (2nd personal name)
3. Gaviria (1st/paternal surname)
4. Trujillo (2nd/maternal surname)
He is mostly known as simply "Cesar Gaviria" or just as (ex-president) "Gaviria". However, your quiz only accepts the answer if I write "Cesar Augusto Gaviria Trujillo", "Gaviria Trujillo" or "Trujillo", not if I write "Cesar Gaviria" or "Gaviria".
Nevertheless, I must say that there are some presidents that have the same last name,(they are usually from the same family) like Santos (Eduardo Santos (1938-1942) & Juan Manuel Santos (2010-2018)), Holguín (Carlos Holguín (1888-1892) & Jorge Holguín (1909, 1921-1922)) and Pastrana (Misael Pastrana (1970-1974) & Andrés Pastrana (1998-2002)).
I hope this is helpful &, again, thank you so much for making this quiz.
