	The third 2006 clue has 'recommended' misspelled.

	amwoods13:	Jul 6th, 2011 at 04:59 GMT		21 points
	I tried "airplane attacks," "9/11 attacks," "Al-qaeda attacks" and several others, but none of them worked.

	joeperez24:	Jul 6th, 2011 at 05:02 GMT		1 point
	Type in "terrorist attacks..." it worked for me.

	sabresfan:	Jul 6th, 2011 at 05:16 GMT		17 points
	Accept US Embassies.

	kezmicdust:	Jul 6th, 2011 at 05:33 GMT		3 points
	amwoods - 911 worked for me

	DanRoc:	Jul 6th, 2011 at 06:06 GMT		18 points
	tried typing Falkland, Falkland Islands War - those should be but were not accepted; also may want to accept 9/11 attacks, or change wording and accept WTC, World Trade Center, Pentagon, or Shanksville, PA

	Just 'terror' worked for me.

	zeppelinoid:	Jul 6th, 2011 at 08:09 GMT		7 points
	Good quiz. Would prefer Underground or "Tube" no one calls it a subway. 6th anniversary of 7/7 tomorrow.

	blairio:	Jul 6th, 2011 at 08:16 GMT		5 points
	I was thrown by "subway" as well - nobody calls it that in London. I kept trying various spellings of Bombai, Mumbai etc.

	@andr5036: I disagree, In Europe the standard term is Metro for an underground railway, not Subway. The original London Underground was called the Metropolitan Railway as was the Parisian version. Subway seems to be a term primarily used in North America.

	Good quiz, but ouch! This isn't exactly a resume of sparkling diplomatic triumphs.

	beerslayer:	Jul 6th, 2011 at 10:50 GMT		5 points
	The clue for 2006 with Montenegro as the answer should read "... as its most recent member" (no apostrophe in "its". "It's" = "It is".)

	voljtw:	Jul 6th, 2011 at 12:42 GMT		7 points
	US Embassies should be accepted...other than that, good quiz.

	Brizza:	Jul 6th, 2011 at 14:03 GMT		10 points
	Another one that disagrees about the "subway" reference. Maybe calling it an "Underground" would be too much of a give away, perhaps a clunkier "public transport" reference would be better, especially as at present we're ignoring those who lost their lives on the bus bomb.

	I swear I typed Al-Qaeda, and tried different spellings, and when I finally typed in Al-Qaida, it filled in Al-Qaeda.

	9/11 attacks did not work for me.

	shakes fist Rwaaaaandaaaaaaa!!!

	thestanleychen:	Jul 6th, 2011 at 17:16 GMT		1 point
	Agree with BoL, though somehow "airline" was accepted. "US embassies" also wasn't accepted for resolution 1189.

	arcad:	Jul 6th, 2011 at 17:26 GMT		3 points
	accept "Falkland Islands"

	Enigma_Charisma:	Jul 6th, 2011 at 17:43 GMT		1 point

	I agree with danroc, allow falkland, or at least falkland islands

	Q_Pheevr:	Jul 6th, 2011 at 18:20 GMT		10 points
	Uh, the other kind of 'sanction,' Teary_Ennui. (Oh, and it was resolution 156, not 157.)

	Rob42:	Jul 6th, 2011 at 21:23 GMT		-3 points
	I think you need to specify whether or not you are asking for a person or a place for each clue, the questions seemed rather vague. Other than that, a good quiz.

	What a useless body the UN is!

	TimeAndTide:	Jul 6th, 2011 at 21:37 GMT		4 points
	Good quiz. I was surprised at how many I knew -- or could guess based on the clue. Although I guessed "Falklands", I agree that "Falkland Islands" should be accepted. In Spanish they are called "Islas Malvinas", so maybe accept that too shrug.

	@Rob42: I'm not sure what more you're looking for other than "this man" and "this country."

	gowhere:	Jul 6th, 2011 at 22:40 GMT		2 points
	@Rob42 and pete32782: I had wasn't certain what would be asked when I was reading the instructions, but as soon as I read the clues, I knew what the response was supposed to be - e.g. Man's name, country, conflict. I didn't miss any responses because I didn't know what was being asked, or couldn't get my response to fit the format. Now, it would have helped if I knew the actual answers in a few cases, but that's why we have quizzes.

	I blame the NFL (specifically Marshall Faulk and Kevin Faulk) for my inability to spell "Falklands" correctly.
