Nice idea but you should allow some variations- eg having to know which number Pope Paul is rough. Neither "Ayatollah" or "Khomeini" work on their own. Also you have a typo in "Prokofiev". And finally, you should specify that fictional individuals such as Peter Pan and Lawrence of Arabia (actually, come to think of it he is a real individual even though the reference is to a movie) don't count.

I have made a couple changes to the quiz. Hope that helps! It's a difficult one even if you know the song.
