I want this quiz to have a list of names of presidents, so you can keep track of which ones you've already guessed (reference: this quiz). But even after copying that quiz and fiddling with the design options, I wasn't able to figure out how to do it. If you can explain how this is done, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Fun quiz! I got a 100. I just wish it was a slightly better hint for Lincoln!

Nice quiz... I almost got all of them but the one that I was missing (Clinton) I got up to C-L-I-N-T.. and then time ran out. Had no idea about that fact.

Also, surprising that so few people knew Martin van Buren was male!

Too bad he got stuck with the last slot. He actually does have worthwhile claim on uniqueness. He's the only one to speak English as a second language. Dutch was his first.

I guess you could say he was the first American-born president.

Level 44

Wasn't Kennedy also Catholic?

Indeed! Good thing he has already been used by the time you get to that clue.

Rigged. It says "the only president..." when he isn't the only one. And "the only president..." to be a man is incorrect.

Been doing these "The Only Remaining . . ." quizzes for more than 4 years now, and still get comments like this. Guess they will never stop.

On that note, I'm surprised there aren't any complaints that the last one has 45 answers.

EDIT: Oh, there is.

This quiz is really top drawer. Very nicely designed.

By the way, I disagree with the quizzer's interest in having a list of presidents with names getting crossed off as you go. The puzzle is more challenging (and more fun) as it is.

Thanks for the compliment!

My main worry was that the quiz could be a little too challenging for the general quiz-taker without the list. But of course there are always those who prefer it that way.
