Ok.....Here are the answers for the latest and most difficult quiz so far.
1. Paris 22
1. London 10
1. Vaduz 1
Easy one this, though Vaduz???
2. French Revolution 5
2. Munich Putsch 4
2. Greece 1967
2. 23-F 1

2. Romanian revolution of 1989 1
2. Russian Revoluti 2
2. Spanish military coup 1923 1
2. The Carnation Revolution 1
2. yougoslavia military coup 1
This is the question that caused the most difficulty. There have been loads of military coups in Europe but a lot of people just couldn't seem to think of one. The one I guessed would be most popular was the 1997 coup in Turkey but no one mentioned it! I couldn't accept 'French Revolution' as it wasn't in fact a military coup really, though the answer 'military coup by napoleon bonaparte' was okay as Napolean did launch a coup but it was about a year after the revolution. The 'Battle of Hastings' made me smile
3. Mozart 16
3. Beethoven 14
3. Chopin 1
3. Bach 1
3. Vivaldi 1
The 2 big guns got most of the votes.
4. Yugoslavia 14
4. Czechoslovakia 13
4. Prussia 3
4. East Germany 1
4. The Soviet Union 1
4. West Germany 1
Only one person said 'East Germany' !
5. France 11
5. Poland 20
5. Austria 2
6. VW 10
6. BMW 6
6. Daimler-Mercedes 5

6. Fiat 3
6. citron 1
6. Ferarri 1
6. Ford 1
6. Koenigsegg 1
6. Peugeot 1
6. Seat 1
Another one with a large spread of answers. I lumped those who said Mercedes, Daimler and Daimler-Mercedes together. I'm not too sure if the person who put 'Koenigsegg' understood the point of the game
