If you’re saying what I think you’re saying, then your mental index card for “western hemisphere” is faulty. Most of Britain is in it.
Oops. I hadn’t thought of that. A big :smack: for me.
- Yes
Yep, it was a poorly worded question. I should have asked if this person was from either North or South America.
Wrong as it may be, i have always considered the Western Hemisphere to be North, Central and South America.
Maybe a good way to ask the question, is to ask if the person is from the “New World” Live and learn. I just didn’t want to waste questions on Europe, Asia, Africa, when the person was from Canada.
- Was this person a statesman?
- Born in 1600 or later?
- Some might dispute it, but I would say yes.
- Yes.
- Born in 1750 or later?
- Yes
- Born in 1825 or later?
So, to recap, it’s a British guy, who died prior to 1909, was born after 1750, and was sort of a statesman.
Was he ever a head of state or head of government?
- Yes, born in 1825 or later.
- Yes, he was a head of state or of government.
Rats. I was going to say Benjamin Disraeli if the answer to 11 was yes, but he was born in 1804. It’s not Gladstone either (1809).
It can’t be Edward VII because he died in 1910.
- Was he English?
