Pedagogics seems awfully specific -- is anyone ever going to guess that?

But nice quiz!

Could you be a bit more lenient or general with some of the answers? I know exactly who Lech Wałęsa is, but i tried president, politician, dissident, civil rights activist, even electrician (his original profession) but none of these worked. Similarly, physicist or just scientist could be accepted for Marie Curie (as her work crossed these disciplines but was more on the physics than chemistry side). Thank you!

Ben Gurion has never been the president of Israel and Paderewski was a politician as well.

For Conrad I tried writer, author, novelist but the only thing accepted is literature.

Flawed quiz because you could know the answer and not get it right.

It's an excellent test of mind reading, though!

I stopped as soon as it didn't accept "author" for Joseph Conrad. Good idea but get real.
