Re: NFL Swampcrash 2023 - Week 1
Not to open a can of worms, but for question #5, does Spain also count historical kingdoms like Leon, Aragon, etc., or just since unification? And similarly, does the UK count pre-unification England and Scotland?

Re: NFL Swampcrash 2023 - Week 1
Yeah, this is tricky. Because of the source I used, it's going to include names used pre-unification but ONLY if there has been one to continue the line since unification. For example, if there were 8 King Chads in England in the 500s and then King Chad IX came along last year, that would still count. But if all King Chads happened before Great Britain/UK, then it would be incorrect.Johnny Carwash wrote: ↑Mon Sep 04, 2023 11:34 am Not to open a can of worms, but for question #5, does Spain also count historical kingdoms like Leon, Aragon, etc., or just since unification?

Dates here would be 1707 for UK, 1479 for Spain, and 843 for France

The dog question was a complete mindfuck trying to read the room. I changed my answer 4 times and then just went back to original.
