...time! Took me almost exactly 22 minutes. I got a little stuck after the small run of politicians because I was frustrated that I couldn't remember more (there were probably a half dozen that I could only remember last names of, for example), and then I went after meandering through a few actors and authors I went on an absolute tear of singers (I swear I did like 20 in the span of two or three minutes). My favorite parts were when I took wild turns because I pivoted on a similar name.

Haphazard category breakdown

1 through 16 are athletes:

  • 1-4: tennis
  • 5: golf
  • 6-8: figure skating
  • 9-12 + 16: gymnastics
  • 13-14: football/soccer
  • 15: basketball

17-21, 26, 27, 29, 44 are First Ladies of the United States (28 (Ivanka) is a daughter of a president)

22-25, 30-39, 41-42, 89 are various politicians (nearly all Americans with a few Br*ts, a German, and a South Korean)

40, 45, 51-55, 57-59, 77, 79, 81, 83, 88, 98, and 100 are actors (I'm not double counting people like Doris Day or Judy Garland)

46-50 are authors (couldn't remember Shelley's first name)

56 is Monica Lewinsky...not really sure what made me think of her at this point tbh

61 (Paris Hilton) is the lone "pure celebrity" on the list I think

43, 60, 62-76, 78, 82, 90-97 are singers (with some double- and triple-threats in there), going from 00s pop to divas to jazz to midcentury Hollywood and then a jumble at the very end

80 (Coco Chanel) is a fashion designer

84-87 are various historical figures

99 (Oprah Winfrey) is a TV host/billionaire mogul

Numbers by category:

27 singers

17 politicians

17 actors

16 athletes

9 FLOTUSes

5 authors

2 civil rights icons

1 amerikkka flagmaker

1 president's daughter

1 doomed socialist

1 reality star

1 woman who was treated horrifically by the media (not that others on this list weren't, but that's what she's known for)

1 fashion designer

1 TV host/billionaire

edit 2: I found it pretty funny that two other people listed

spoilerCourtney Love

which was kind of an asspull for me. Guess it just means we're of a certain age...
