	We're entering country, not ruler. What does relation mean? Force to choose in order so we're not typing random countries. And Obama, Putin, Sarkozy, etc are not "rulers".

	@demonstah: The oxford dictionary states that: A ruler is a person who rules or governs a state or country, therefore prime ministers and presidents fall under that category of ruler As for yourother issues, these have been dealt with and i'd appreciate that you wouldnt just rate me down for petty reasons such as these

	I call them like I see them. If I would play a quiz again, it gets a good rating. If I wouldn't, it gets a low rating. I'm glad you fixed the other issues - my rating will be changed to reflect the improvement. As for "petty reasons," we are talking about trivia here - Everything is petty, and therefore nothing is irrelevant.

	I would suggest making the quiz more specific - either asking to name 'heads of state' or 'heads of government'. Ruling is too ambiguous. For instance, you have the emperor of Japan there, who is essentially a figurehead, yet you have Stephen Harper. Either it should be Queen Elizabeth II for Canada or the current prime minister for Japan, Naoto Kan.

	Obviously, similar problems with the UK here, and Russia. If you have Harper you should have Cameron, and if you have the queen, Dmitri Medvedev should be the Russian answer. Actually, Medvedev should be the answer regardless.

	@wtncffts: The Issue has been resolved as elected leader of each country

	@demonstah: you can now play this game again as over half the answers have been changed since you last played!

	The issue has not been resolved unless you could tell me when Hu Jintao or Vladimir Putin were "elected"

	brittain33:	Jul 26th, 2010 at 17:53 GMT	0 points
	The common phrase here is "chief executive," I think, although even then Vladimir Putin shouldn't count because Medvedev is analogous to Sarkozy in any way that matters. "Chief executive" is the leader of the executive branch of the government, so it excludes both figurehead heads of state and prime ministers who are subordinate to a president.

	@brittain33: which in english means...?

	brittain33:	Jul 27th, 2010 at 16:30 GMT	0 points
	It means the best term for describing all of these people is "chief executive," since a bunch of them aren't elected, and even then, Putin doesn't count.

	@brittain33: i have now (hopefully) fixed everything that was wrong and i'd appreciate any positve feedback and/or any changes to the score anybody has given, seeing as (most) the problems have been solved!?!
