This one’s a toughie, I feel like I’m missing something really obvious and I’m probably gonna kick myself when I see it. I also considered Kingdom of Heaven and Body of Lies and that movie with Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Garner. Lots of modern choices here, the winner will probably be something old like Cleopatra. 12. If Tigris wins I’m gonna be pissed! 13. Saladin or Saddam…hmm. Civilization V versus CNN. Go with CNN. 14. Isn’t everyone in the Middle East a political figure? They are all either politicians, warlords, fundamentalist extremists, religious figures or martyrs. I’m sure I’m the only one picking a Supermodel. 15. I’d have said Khaddafi for me, but Wikipedia likes Gaddafi apparently and I think a lot of people will cheat like me. ---

> [@Tom\_Scud](#): > > This is obviously Dolores’s call, but I would say that double letters and whether you use “al” or not should count as different spellings for #10, but variations on Al should not - that is, al-Gaddafi should be the same as Al Gaddafi etc. but neither of them should be the same as Gaddafi.
