> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Not Vladimir Ashkenazy, dunno, and not Vaclav Havel. 2 correct - for the other I was going for Viktor Orban, but on review I see he is Prime Minister of Hungary, not president. I assume this doesn’t really change the outcome though (i.e. you would have mentioned that, had you known of him) so unless you feel otherwise: DQ: Are you humanoid in appearance? IQ: Did you spend years abusing/ignoring your nephew out of fear of his powers? IQ: Did you turn into a shark in order to rescue your girlfriend? IQ: Were you a spoiled child who received her comeuppance in the form of a squirrel attack? ---
