    What people were searching for for each entry. With first name variables, last name variations, and variable addresses it seemed like it would be hard to do them quickly.

    Keep refreshing. It saves your progress. I'm at 8 of 20. I'm not releasing this HIT. :mad:

    The directions said to not pay attention to the address. I searched whole name and then last name.

    Speaking of spoilers, the SPOILER ALERT warnings that CNN now uses when you get updates on your cell phone for the Olympics are worthless. You can still see the results right next to the warning! Has happened twice to me already today alone!

    I know, but they also said "Keep an eye out for obvious typos and derivative names". I found duplicates that were the same person that searching for the given name wouldn't have found by checking with an additional address search. This of course wouldn't cover different addresses with different name spellings, but it found more than searching by name and made me paranoid that I was missing more by not knowing if some of the uncommon names could have typos and thus not having a good way to search for them

    Edit: I know it said not to focus on the address, but I thought that meant don't try to figure out if the same name at different addresses is the same person - John Smith in different cities - not to ignore the address if you saw a John Jansen and a John Janssen that searching the name wouldn't pick up, but the address would, but if there was a Jansen and a Janssen at different addresses it would be extremely difficult to find.

    I guess this is why I didn't like them as much as you guys.

    So which names out of the dataset were you favorite? My Top 3 have been Michael Bloomberg, a guy named Schreck and Holodick.

    So true. Little things that we do that don't matter but yet we do anyway.

    When I did a last name search it would show all the words that had those letters. For instance if I was looking for Mary Book my search would bring up Book as well as Booking, Bookman etc. It even brought up street names that were similar.

    I know. But (and I wish I could remember the specific names) I found duplicates for things where that wouldn't work, usually with double consonants. I meant to do Jansen/Jannsen in my example because I remember at least two 'nn' and 'n' duplicates. I think there was at least one f/ff too.

    So searching the provided Jansen or Jannsen would not have found the duplicate, but searching the address allowed finding it. And to look thoroughly that would involve doubling the searches and that doesn't cover any other spelling/typo differences with different addresses in play so I got paranoid I was missing stuff.

    Edit: Evidently I should've followed the "don't overthink it" rule.
