The presenter asks the following questions:

1. How long did the 100 years war last ?

a) 116 years

The blonde asks for the public’s assistance.

The blonde responds poorly and was eliminated.

Now the right answers:

2. The “Panama hut“ is in Ecuador
3. The celebration of the October Revolution takes place on November 7
4. His real name was Albert, as the King George IV changed his name in 1936
5. The Canary Islands get their name from “seal”, as a large Monk Seal colony could be found in the islands during the 15th century, known as ‘Cannis Marinus’ in Latin or Sea Dogs (note that other sources explain that the Canary Islands get their name form the wild canary – “sesrinus canarius” -, and yet others sources claim it comes from the dogs).
