+ Question 12 is really confusingly phrased. You might say "which of these contestants took part in the contest on fewer than four occasions?"
+ George Nussbaumer is blind but he's not the first blind contestant. Serafin Zubiri took part in 1992. I'm not sure whether he is the first one though!
About question twelve, I will change. Now that I notice, yes, it is a bit confusing.
About the blind singer. I totally forgot about Serafín, I just don't like his songs (they are so boring). But thanks for noticing!
