Just one thing - Queen means ruler, so no wives of kings. Sorry DavidC, you can resubmit yours!

Re: Rare Entries XXI - The Return
I have resubmitted my entry. However I suggest that you change the question to ask for a valid "Tudor monarch (not consort)". I provided a perfectly valid Tudor queen (assuming that you don't want to invalidate it through a theological debate about Henry VIII's split with Rome).
I am intrigued that you didn't comment on the ambiguity that I highlighted on another question, but lots of the fun of this is about challenging the questions before (and the answers/scores after) the deadline

Re: Rare Entries XXI - The Return
There wasn't really one, as I only got 2 entries with no incorrect answers, so A Challenge and DavidC technically drew for 1st

Re: Rare Entries XXI - The Return
I had subconsciously added parentheses around "with no incorrect answers" - the lack of parentheses leaves an ambiguity that you are absolutely correct to highlight.
Regardless, I'm disappointed by his downplaying of our joint success - well done AC ! For info, my answers were as follows (after revision of 3 but before seeing the revised wording for 2) :
1 - Brazil
2 - Ambiguous wording : Cold Water if you accept ones where he is merely not the first named, otherwise none if you strictly require "FT JUSTIN BIEBER" on the UK official charts website http://www.officialcharts.com/artist/60 ... in-bieber/
3 - Henry VII
4 - Eastbourne
5 - 216
6 - Gadolinium
7 - Felicity Jones

Interesting ! Arguably West Germany actually won the FIFA World Youth Championship (subsequently renamed), but your -64 comment makes up for that
