    Right! Two letters were transposed on commemorative stamps so that they read '50th anniversary of the first Irish landing' rather than 'moon landing'.

    Take it away Phileas!

    Sorry. I dreamed up a nice one last night but it escapes me now. Try this one:

    What links:
    Emperor Nero;
    Princess Haya of Jordan (who seems to have done a runner from the UAE);
    King Constantine II of Greece;
    Pál Schmitt, president of Hungary 2010-2012;

    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
