Ehh if you recognize francium, polonium and germanium, then you're set. They are close to the name of the country in English unlike say nihonium (Japan) and ruthenium (russia) which take from different languages.

I do think it's a bit tough to do process of elimination if you don't know any of them, but so are trivia questions pertaining to niche pop culture or narrow periods of history

I frequently struggle with the heavily American questions on the quiz, since I'm not American.

Pretty much

Pretty much, I had no idea he had a name but the poster he's on is famous.

Look up old political cartoons, you are bound to come across him, he pops up very often. Very interesting to browse through I think :) some are very creative, with countries in shapes of people or animals.

When I was in college 1974, Patty Hearst, an heir of the wealthy Hearst family, was kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army when she was 19 years old. She was is an example of the reality of the syndrome. She adopted their radical ideology, participated in a bank robbery. She was arrested in 1975 and the defense was the Stockholm syndrome. She spent a short time in prison and was subsequently pardoned. It is real.

I think what sets the answer apart is word of gentleman in the question

Butler is the co-head of house staff, making sure the cooks/maids, etc. are up to snuff. Footmen take care of the coaches - ride at the back of the coach and assists passengers getting in/out (probably cars now). They work more outside the house/castle/mansion but I think they might be in charge of polishing the silver & helping serve at table. The porter helps with getting things in/out of the above. Valets are assigned generally 1-1 with 'their' gentleman - lady's maids similarly. Two or three Downton Abbey episodes will catch you up! 😉

Don’t you mean Americum? Oh if another 17 people mention Polonium, this comment thread will reach 100. Is that some sort of record?
