I thought this was "extremely hard general knowledge except for two questions so easy any blithering idiot could get them" (the ones about Cardinal Wolsey and the Armada) and then it turns out I seem to be the only one to have got them right so far.

I wonder if the one about Donald Trump is phrased correctly - did he win seats as such? Maybe it should be something like how many electoral college votes he got. Perhaps an American can tell us, if there are any Americans on Jetpunk? I'm not sure.
