The question for the African colony should probably read "1650-1663". Great quiz tho, keep them coming.

In the philosopher question I think you mean the death date was 1650, not 1950 :)

The philosopher question has a typo with 1950 being the year of his death. I was trying to think of some weird philosophical thing that would fit, but then I figured it was just a typo.
