    I do hope that they read up on the answers that they've missed, because history is fascinating. Diogenes lived an extremely interesting life: He debased coins with his father (that was the first clue) until he was exiled from his birthplace Sinope, which was regarded as a more extreme punishment than death. Then he went to Athens and became an ascetic social critic who spoke out when people relied on blind faith and traditions rather than used their heads. Later he was captured by pirates and sold as a slave in Crete, where he is supposed to have mocked Alexander to his face. The Palace of the Parliament is also very interesting. Ceausescu's megalomania was so huge that it boggles the mind. More than 700 architects, 5,000 soldiers and 100,000 "volunteers" worked on its building during which they've levelled 7 square kms of the old city centre. Today it houses both the Upper and Lower Houses of Parliament, the National Museum of Contemporary Art, an office for the Regional Southeast European Cooperative Initiative Centre for Fighting Transborder Crime, plus many governmental organisations hold their events there and still 70% of it is unused.

    The question about the pope, she got right. The pope has always claimed to be infallible in matters of faith and doctrine, claiming the Holy Spirit guides him, but it was only until 1870 that the teaching of infallibility was made doctrine, meaning that it was something to be believed by every Catholic and was not open to debate.
