They are native names.

Also, British names are more obtuse.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

This one's pretty hardcore:
Can you name A&E's 100 most influential people of the last 1,000 years?

14 minutes. I managed 50 out of 100, but with all solutions revealed I was, "Ah, him/her/them!" in many cases.

They've some weird choices. No Erasmus or Calvin? Stephenson or Brunel? Lincoln and Washington but no Gladstone, Disraeli or Cromwell? So few royals? Churchill but no Ghandi? And no Babbage but no Baird? TV is rather important...
And princess Diana!?!?
