Correct on Don King, the others were Soren Kierkegaard and Karol Wojtyła (aka Pope John Paul II) - but on researching the latter a bit more, I see the question was not framed correctly, I must have misremembered that factoid. It appears Pope Benedict XVI was in fact the first to resign since 1415, not since forever. And Kierkegaard was Danish, not Norwegian. So massive fail there, sorry - no DQs this time! IQ: Are you a sarcastic Canadian comedienne who has been making her name in the UK in the last few years? IQ: Are you an American actor recently criticised for deflecting attention away from past misdemeanours by confirming something long suspected? IQ: Did you have a hit with _Bette Davis Eyes_? ---
