There's no opium in the opium picture, either, and yet it's still clear what is meant.

Finally, a picture of that old man that's actually captioned as "Odin" and not "Gandalf". I've seen it described as being a picture of Gandalf like a dozen times now, including on other quizzes on this site!

I always pictured Odin as a much harsher man. That guy looks rather sweet.

The key identifying feature is that Odin lacks one eye (that he gave away in exchange for wisdom)

That would be m, however Gaius Octavian doesn’t make much sense.

I would have done better had I not overlooked the entire bottom line. I do that a lot on these quizzes. You'd think I'd learn eventually.

There is no room because of all the other knowledge you soak up on this site ;) (in your mind to remember that is)

Made it all the way through this quiz to then realize that I could have gotten more answers correct if I would have read that all answers start with O. Facepalm

But Lyndon Johnson, Castro, Mafioso, Soviet Union, Aristotle Onassis and George Bush all have O's in them. Jacky Ruby, on the other hand, was a lone wolf.

Lenin didn't lead the October Revolution of 1905 (wasn't he in exile then???)

He led the Bolshevik revolution in 1917...

Why would anyone want to know the name of an assassin? He didn't achieve anything admirable in his life (maybe unless you very strongly disagree with JFK's politics, which I think most people on this site don't). You're just giving him attention he doesn't deserve.

If we just forgot the names of anyone in history who did something evil or infamous, the whole point of learning history (to learn from it?...) would cease to function.
