How many current AND past WR holders can you name? (A Sporcle quiz)

[TDM]

108/299. Some of the people I really should've got but didn't:

Spoiler

Shotaro Makisumi, Yu Nakajima, Mátyás Kuti, Giovanni Contardi, Haiyan Zhuang (I knew this but couldn't spell it...), Gabriel Alejandro Orozco Casillas, Kaijun Lin, Yumu Tabuchi, Guus Razoux Schultz, Henrik Buus Asgaard, David Woner, Pierre Bouvier (knew this but couldn't remember the name), Jayden McNeill, Jonatan Kłosko (again, spelling), Bence Barát, and Daniel Sheppard (wrote Dan Sheppard, saw it wasn't accepted and didn't try Daniel... :fp).

I got 100% on Mega average, which I'm happy with. Even though I never do Mega. I got all but one 6x6 average too.

I suck... got 43/299

CANT BELEIVE FORGOT LIN CHEN AND BING LIANG LI

cheated a bit...

 

[EMI]

102/299 At least I didn't cheat - I didn't know how to spell a lot of people. Forgetting Dan Cohen and forgetting the name of Matyas Kuti was kind of stupid though.

163
Couldn't spell Sameer Mahmood, Muhammad Iril Khairul Anam, Brúnó Bereczki and Gabriel Pereira Campanha (for the last one I have just forgot the h, I thought it was Campaña ).
Totally forgot about Mátyás Kuti lol
100% in FMC, 4BLD, 5BLD and... Megaminx average?

It's not how many current AND past WR holders can you name, it's how many names you can spell.

94, would of gotten a lot more if I could spell. Especially the Polish names

 

[MTGjumper]

Got 140, with eight minutes left that I couldn't be bothered to use. Also, only 16% of people remember me

 

[Laura O]

Forgot some very well known people, remembered some really old records and did a lot of trial and error with Polish and Asian names...
But 169/299 is OK, i think.

I don't know about other people but I think if I could name someone, I can probably spell their name too (minus the accents)

I don't think any person can spell Przemyslaw Kaleta or Erik Akkersdjik (among others) just from the pronunciation, unless the already know the spelling rules of Polish or Dutch respectively.

Actually, Dutch spelling/pronunciation is pretty straightforward. You pronounce every letter that is written and write every letter you hear.

Actually, Dutch spelling/pronunciation is pretty straightforward. You pronounce every letter that is written and write every letter you hear.

If I do that, then the J would be pronounced (and not written) and that's sort of wrong.

Also, the point of my post is not to say that Dutch pronunciation/spelling is hard, but to say that if you didn't know Dutch spelling, you couldn't spell the name.

 

[Sebastien]

165/299.

Damn, this was way harder than expected. In special as I often knew exactly the person, but couldn't remember the exact name...

 

[hcfong]

I'm always intrigued by people who turn up at some competition, set a world record and then disappear forever. I know Mike Godfrey was one of them. Are there any others?

 

[bobthegiraffemonkey]

123/299. So close on the spelling for a few, and why I didn't make the connection to try the longer version of Chris/Kris I don't know. There were about 5 people that I knew but completely forgot about. At least I ended on a nice number.

 

[CHJ]

248, only one behind rowe

 

[Torch]

169/299

The most guessed person that I missed was Matyas, and the least guessed person that I got was Marco Rota.

I remembered you but didn't think you had a WR, so I didn't try your name... I did miss your name when I was going through seeing who I missed though.
