Thanks to Liam for sending in this screenshot of a Sporcle quiz on U.S. presidents. Apparently people remember Benjamin Harrison more than was expected!

I would also like to add the critique that Sporkle quizzes are self-selected, so it is highly likely the people represented by those numbers are people who felt reasonably confident naming U.S. Presidents. This would not be an accurate representation of the average American person.

He's lower because the original quiz pre-dates his presidency, lots of people took the quiz before he was added, so the percentage is lower

Wait a minute...when I take that quiz and type in 'Adams' it completes both Adams-es. Similarly with Harrison. Seeing that the percentages aren't identical I can understand that there are people typing 'John Adams' than 'John Quincy Adams' if that only gets you credit for one or the other but you're telling me more people are specifically typing in 'William Harrison' than 'Benjamin Harrison'? I don't buy it
