And here are the right asnwers:
1. Shirley Temple
2. No it is not. Though LED's answer is right too. Prague spring is when the Soviets invaded the now Czech Republic. Velvet revolution is when the communist government was overthrown in a non violent manor.
3. Romanov.
4. Editor for Double Day.
5. Michael Knight, The nightrider
6. Description that Shanty gave.
7. Guilders. Only dutch people call the guilder, 1 guilder is gulden (as is written on the coin), and multiple guilders are guldens (which is not written on any coin.)
8. Ben, Sunny, Dionne, Reda, me.
9. What Greyling said.
10. Hootie and the blowfish.

Shanty and LED had 4 right. Assuming Greyling was going to copy either Shanty's or LED's answers + the right answer to number 9.....Greyling won. Though other people did the work. lol (life stinks)
