Great quiz! ;)

Please accept "Ban" instead of "Ki-Moon", as Korean people always have their last name mentioned before their first name.

Please accept "Perez de Cuellar, as that is the first part of his family name. Also, note that Gladwyn Jebb wasn't officially SG - he filled the position in an "acting role" until the first SG could be selected and installed.
