    Personally (not that anybody asked me, mind you), I didn't mind the mixture of questions - the more difficult ones made me learn something new, and the easier ones (I mean, the three I managed to guess) made me feel very smart (at a primary school level, but still...).

    Oh, and obviously:

    WELCOME BACK, Rubes. :D

    And you can also add:
    The current Aga Khan;
    Princess Charlene of Monaco.

    Now folks, you surely have it unless I give you the answer minus the last word.
