6/10 after also missing #3, 4, and #10

Do you guys have some kind of beef going on?

If no, perhaps act more civilly toward one another.

If yes, go write and perform a rap song about it

Got the 10/10, mostly straightforward today, was on for a really good time until that last question too. Didn't know about the year of the three popes, but I figured the dates lined up for the others so it had to be.
