I don’t much about entire Europe.
9/11 I didn’t know the name of that pope
6 of 11
too hard for me
6 guesses!
Tried the quiz again today and missed two!
5/11 with a lot of guessing
9/11 I didn’t know the name of that pope
John Paul I honoured his two predecessors when he chose his name, with Paul being the second of those
2/11 Very cool quiz!
8/11 – I just missed the pope and the Olympics. Very nice quiz 🙂
The Rome Olympics were the first ones I remember – someone we knew had a tiny TV set and we saw a few flickering images!
