| I had not originally intended to do an international version until brownstown511 left a comment on the US candidate version of this quiz that gave me the link to the Hitler photo and challenged me to come up with this version. I've added an extra minute since there are some difficult to spell names in this edition. Enjoy! |

| Putin looks like he's about to give that kid the kiss of death. (And Chavez is straight-up making out with his.) Great sequel. Could you possibly accept "Pope Benedict"? I tried that before trying just "Benedict." |

| Consider it done, druhutch. I had already decided not to require the number on Popes and Queens in this quiz and just forgot that alternative. Come to think of it though, wouldn't 'Popes and Queens' be a great band name?! |

| Weird seeing guys like Stalin and Hitler doing this, considering they are two of the worst men in history. |

| If I remmeber my history right that is actually Stalin's daugther. He actually sent the first guy she liked to Siberia. |

| Stalin's daughter, Svetlana Alluluyeva, emigrated to the U.S. in 1967 and just passed last November at the age of 85. That is not her in the photo with Stalin. The girl in the photo with Stalin is Gelya Markizova and the photo was taken in 1936. Her father was second secretary of the Buryat Mongol ASSR and was executed the following year for spying for Japan. |

| Hitler actually looks one of the most relaxed and friendly of the leaders in that picture. Does anyone know if that was with some family member or just a staged picture with a stranger's baby? |
 | Hejman: | Feb 8th, 2012 at 13:38 GMT | | 6 points |
| @bazmerelda- The people in the picture are the wife and daughter of Hermann Goering and the photograph was taken at little Edda Goering's baptism in 1938. You can see a photo of the two of them watching the baptism at this link: http://popartmachine.com/item/pop_art/LOC+1074569/function.pg-connect. The only sources I can find report that Edda Goering was living in Munich about 10 years ago and that she may now have moved to South Africa. |

You may wonder from Hejman's comment (a little ways up) why he knows so much about Joseph Stalin. Well, it's actually because he had to do some pretty extensive research on the guy in order to make this quiz here: http://www.sporcle.com/games/Hejman/dru_asked_for_it |

| Not fair picking the one picture of David Cameron where his hair's not frozen into a block of black lacquer. But a fun quiz nonetheless. |

| I'll admit I entered a misspelled Ahmadinejad into the google box to see what the correct spelling was. I mean, I knew who he was, and how to pronounce it. Is that so wrong? Does that make me a bad Sporcler? Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone. |

| Perhaps accept Dilma for Dilma Rousseff? I know this can be argued either way, but I remember when she was running for President of Brazil, she was more often than not referred to as Dilma. That's how I know her. Even now: http://blogs.ft.com/beyond-brics/2012/03/30/dilma-kicks-a-goal-for-world-cup/ |
