	It's mostly "name countries," isn't it?

	TreehuggnCowgirl:	Dec 17th, 2009 at 23:34 GMT	2 points
	This would be a better exercise if you gave us more time, used the "pretender" as the hint and made us answer them in order. Interesting concept though.

	johnlk:	Dec 18th, 2009 at 15:45 GMT	4 points
	For France, you should list the Comte de Paris first, I think, as he's the most prominent of the pretenders. The Prince Napoleon is certainly the least prominent pretender of the three, so it makes little sense to list him.

	Also, where are the lesser German states - Bavaria, Wurttemberg, Saxony, Hanover, and the rest all have pretenders.

	TwoSheds:	Dec 18th, 2009 at 17:57 GMT	2 points
	@ johnlk, thanks for the comments. I'll change France to the other guy, without knowing a lot about the relative prominence of these folks I just put Napoleon because it amuses me that there is someone out there named "Charles Napoleon." And I'll add the lesser German states as bonus answers, as I did for a few other places. I didn't originally since it is annoying to have a bunch of sub-national places be answers on a quiz that is primarily countries, plus there are so many other lesser states with defunct monarchies (Italy and India each have like 15, most of which would be completely unrecognizable to even the average Sporcler) that I'd have to be selective in an unfair way in favor of places that I've heard of.

	@TreehuggnCowgirl, I think giving the person instead of continent would actually accomplish basically the same thing since almost all of these people have stereotypical-sounding names.

	Very interesting...

	Probus:	May 7th, 2010 at 16:05 GMT	2 points
	Jerusalem? If you are talking about "historical" entities fair enought but, in that case, there would be a host of other "countries" that no longer exist that could be included. If you are restricting this to current - or recent (say within the last 100 years) - countries then Jerusalem doesn't qualify on that score.

	I hope Zera Selassie actually gets his father's throne back, Haile Selassie was one of the greatest men of all time, and those icky communists destroyed everything he had built, and kicked him out, plus the world needs more than one empire, it just wouldn't be cool enough

	Great game. How many bonus answers are there? I have found 6.

	johnlk:	Oct 21st, 2011 at 19:46 GMT	1 point
	The Kingdom of Jerusalem doesn't really have any actual pretenders. Also, Otto von Habsburg died earlier this year.

	Thryduulf:	Nov 11th, 2011 at 01:25 GMT	1 point
	For the bonuses I think it would work better if you arranged it as "continent (throne)" in the first column and details of the pretender(s) in the larger second column. Particularly for the Hawaii bonus.

	AtomicIce:	Feb 11th, 2012 at 12:55 GMT	1 point
	@ Thryduulf, I don't think one can rearrange the bonus columns differently than the regular answer columns. And to answer my earlier question, there are at least 10 bonus answers. Has anyone found more than that?
