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

[FinnGamer]

got 123 overall, but didn't get a single fmc single and most of the bld records. Was proud of my early 3x3 and 4x4 knowledge

 

[guysensei1]

81/299, but I've already read this thread so that kind of unfair

 

[MTGjumper]

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)

Grzegorz caught me out.

 

[Robert-Y]

Do people think it would be better and still fair if I added nicknames as alternate answers? Also should I perhaps allow some shortened names and allow some first name only to be alternate answers?

 

[mkarthick]

i got 19/299, i'm glad i don't know all this useless information.

I doubt you'd say that to Mats Valk or Feliks Zemdegs if you met them.

I doubt you'd say that to Mats Valk or Feliks Zemdegs if you met them.

Given that Mats and Feliks are famous, in particular hold the current 3x3 WRs, and together account "only" for 16/299, it's quite possible that he got both of them and just called other people's WR information useless and thus wouldn't have a problem saying this to Mats or Feliks.

Jep, i like that idea, cause many speelings are really difficult for me... For example i knew Erik Akkersdijk but didnt know ho to spell his last name...

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.

I can somehow spell it now

Well, not Akkersdjik, Przemyslaw.

Thank you Brandon Mikel for teaching me how to phonetically sound out Grzegorz Jalocha.

156, looked up spelling when I knew the name, though.

 

[Cale S]

Got 109, probably shouldn't have given up as soon as I did

I had no idea how to spell Przemysław, didn't know the full name of Gabriel Pereira Campanha or Gabriel Alejandro Orozco Casillas, and somehow forgot Tomoaki Okayama's first name.

I was only able to spell Grzegorz Jałocha and Abhishek Sathyanarayanan right because of these videos

What would be cool is the same survey but you guess the time instead of the name. You would select a name and guess, rather than write a number and have it assigned to any name with that result.

you don't know me very well then

 

[kinch2002]

225/299 Happy with that.
The least common one I got was Mike Godfrey (4.3%) and the most common I missed was Jayden McNeill (25%)

 

[lorki3]

Only got 47/299.
I feel bad for not even remembering Antoine Cantain.

 

[ZamHalen]

92 The Polish names were impossible for me to remember the spelling for.The rest were me being stupid with spelling, things I forgot and things I didn't know.

 

[cmhardw]

How do people know the most common and least common responses?

 

[scottishcuber]

How do people know the most common and least common responses?

When you finish you are shown all the names along with percentages of how commonly chosen they are.

 

[Robert-Y]

But just take note that it takes all attempts into account not just the first attempt. They are higher than they ought to be for first attempts.

You should feel bad for not even spelling it correctly xD
