Strange Famous

I expect I will be shocked and disappointed with my own effort...

But without looking online (even for correct spellings) - how many world leaders can you name without exiting this thread, checking anything else, asking anyone else, etc..

After 10 minutes effort I was able to name just over 20... and I dont know if I got any wrong. I have a Ba in Politics, try to keep up to date with the news... so either this proves how insular we all are, or how insular I am!

Am really looking foward to see how other people do, and hope people take it on genuinely.

Im especially shocked I couldnt even list the names of the leaders of the two biggest nations on earth (India and China)... although I do have an idea of who the Chinese head of state is, it was so vague it would be 50% guess...
