    Just 5 1/2 people still to answer, I love some of your PMs detailing how you got to the answers, one of my favourite being from @Trigger who got the pen and paper out for the US president question and sent me this image

    I did a chronological list as well in Notes but I wasn't sure if presidents who served more than one term were counted twice, particularly in Trump's case as they weren't consecutive. So I had to play it a little bit safe, lol. I did a similar list fr Madonna's songs, for most of the other questions I am wildly guessing 😂

    I knew that Ford came after Nixon, I dunno why I wrote them like that 😂 and when I looked at it again and seen 3 republicans in a row I was like.. what have I done there..

    Then the lightbulb hit..

    Always mix up Reagan and Carter though.. I still don't know if it's correct 😂 not checking

    Kol will be going mad at this I'm sure - he explicitly called that out in the question!

    We're all shocking at reading the rules - and I count me here too, who sent in three answers to the first round!

    Ah listen I am trying to keep up with this game, Squid Game game, other threads, work, life and laundry - sometimes I speed read - to my own detriment 😂

    Apologies to @Kolido who is probably driven mad with people not reading the questions properly😳

    Me too, I know one Olympic answer will be a high scorer, everything else is a random shot in the dark.

    I think I got pointless on the Olympics, probably would know the last 12+ in a loose order.

    The events, I knew a couple were 1800s but not sure, so picked two I know early 1900s.

    Similar to me.. knew the Olympics as they were the controversial ones back in the 80's and did the same with the events.

    When i first saw question 2, I thought ha I know the two oldest ones, then when I really started looking I realised there was loads I didnt know the exact dates for and didnt want to risk it so played it safe in 1900s, but I may regret it!

    I was second guessing my event picks, i think one might be too early but there were a few I was fairly unsure of. We'll see if my first or second instincts were correct - or neither 😅

    Know I did well with the Olympics. With the events, just picked two ones I definitely knew the year of and hope they score low.

    Time will tell

    Lets have a look at the answers to q1

    Most of you had it narrowed down to the 80s, a few of you didn't want to take a risk and played it safe with Barcelona ans Seoul

    And how did you all score, fairly well for the most part. Not an easy one to guess if you dont know. 10 perfect score, well done

    My PM to Kol 😂

    So the controversial Olympics if I'm going by the dates I wrote down (1980/1984) both boycotted..

    1980 was in Moscow, US boycotted with others I think

    1984 were Los Angeles were the Soviets boycotted.
