	The Spanish clue was one of the easier ones for me. There are only 2 events in Argentina that most Americans would know. Evita didn't have much to do with islands so I figured it had to be Falklands, Thatcher was PM, Reagan was pres, hello 1980s. Really loved the quiz even though I was off by a decade for several.

	@debbiedoesnothin: actually, Evita would have been more difficult than Malvinas/Falklands. Even someone who knows Spanish, seeing a headline mentioning Eva Perón, would have doubted between the late 1940s and the early 1950s. With the islands there was no doubt about the decade (what events deserving a headline happened in the Malvinas/Falklands other than the war of 1982?)

	And, only half answer the event that is currently occurring correctly...

	The Jack the Ripper one caught me out because there was a very infamous incident in the UK in the 1980s when someone sent a tape recording to the police looking for the Yorkshire Ripper in which the caller said "I'm Jack" and claimed responsibility for the Ripper murders.

	Really fun and well-done quiz. A bit too much gold, maybe.

	Falklands caught me out - I knew what it was about, and that the original incident was in the 80s, but Argentina have been stirring it up recently and it was all over the news this year, so thought it could be 2010s.
