You got it, almost to a T! In addition to Hitler and Stalin, Franz Josef also lived in Vienna during the same time period.
I dont know how great it is, but here is another one. Google will instantly spoil this one, so avoid it.
If you know, please do not even spoiler-box your answer!
Rabies has been on a meteoric rise in India over the past 20 years or so. The reason behind this is, I think, fascinating. What happened?
Were monkeys involved?
How about cows?
Were the rabies cases all a result of animal bites?
Was something added to or removed from the ecosystem?
Are dogs specifically afflicted with most of the rabies cases?
Does *Rabies *refer to the disease?
If not, does it refer to some type of popular entertainment?
Is it a heavy metal group? A series of films?
KK
Was one species of animal responsible for most of the rise in rabies cases?
Have rabies cases been on the rise in humans?
Has the rise in number of cases been associated with an increase in the population of some animal?
Has the rise in the number of cases been associated with some change which makes transmission easier?
Has the rise in the number of cases been associated with a new strain of the disease?
Please feel free to ask for more clarification in any above or previous questions. Like most of these puzzles, it is hard to stick to no, yes, maybe, or irrelevant.
Is it connected with religious practices or taboos?
Are dogs being abandoned?
Yes
No
Has the increase been due to the introduction or in-migration of some animal which previously was not found in the region?
Is global warming involved?
No to both.
Are people refusing to vaccinate their pets?
No.
Does it have something to do with not doing something to cows that would otherwise be done or make sense to do?
Yes, there is something like what you asked involved.
Are Indians refusing to kill cows when they become rabid?
YES
BUT
IRRELEVANT(they weren’t killing them pre-rabies-surge)
Are cows becoming rabid at a greater rate than previously?
Are rabid cows infecting humans at a greater rate than previously?
Are rabid cows infecting some other animal at a greater rate than previously?
Has there been a relevant increase in the population of cows?
Has there been a relevant increase in the population of humans?
Has there been a relevant increase in the population of some animal other than cows or humans?
