Re: Q20

Not a game question:

What is included in "the arts"?

No, I am not an idiot, an 'antisocial twit' nor am I a 'cheat', so please stop overreacting like that.

You asked if he was living in a Scandinavian country. Not if he was from there. He is not living there now, and has not been for a very long time. Therefore, I am correct. Now stop making molehills out of absolutely everything.

6. Did she die before the 19th century?

Re: Q20

those are some good questions to ask, mathsisfun! smile

I hope I haven't made this too hard. Consider what you have: she was not a scientist or a writer, or artist, or a feminist. How could she be remembered without being any of those things? Not many women throughout history are remembered (at least compared to men) because women were often considered enferior despite their talents. So she must have been particularly extraordinary, right?
