Just one comment, I don't think Ptolemy produced that map, it has the Americas beautifully mapped, but Ptolemy died in 160 AD, unless he was a time traveller.

Hence why the question is referring to the model depicted rather than the drawing itself.

For the antepenultimate question, could the persons name not be an acceptable answer or at least a type in?

Great quiz series. Before I started I immediately thought of Pliny the Elder, Pythagoras, Peloponnesian, Pizarro, Peary, and Pocahontas. I was surprised that none of them were on there.

Your hat looks more like a Pork Pie hat rather than a Panama. The flat top without a crease down the centre along with the narrow turned up brim define the Pork Pie over the Panama, which is usually flat brimmed and a bit taller.

I will concede that Truman wore a Panama, it just didn't look like this one.

Agreed, the photo looks like a porkpie hat. Perhaps Truman's is not ageing well. Googling panama hat shows hats that are nothing like the photo clue provided...

PLO is not freedom fighters.

describe them as "A regime that claims parts of the Levant"
