And while I'm cataloguing the scores for this question, keep the next question in mind: "Name the head of state of a South American nation."

Should that include previous leaders?

No. It says 'the' head, indicating each nation has only one. If it said 'a' head, past leaders could arguably be included.

I don't think it should. "The" implies only one head of state could be a correct answer. The current one.

Pop Quiz!



If your answer is "Ramirez" without a first or last name, is it racist or just idiotic for you to assume that a current head of state might have that name?

I can't be racist, I'm dating a Hispanic dude.

Oh, that wasn't my answer. Nevermind.

Not to sound pushy, but is this going to be completed in time for the site maintenance?

That excuse doesn't work for Lou Dobbs, either.
