Incidentally, The Paper Chase (the tv show) - the law school name is never mentioned - at least in S1. It is presumed to be Harvard.

There were no wrong answers, but had you answered Suriname, Honduras, or any number of Caribbean islands (St. Kitts, Dominica, but not Jamaica) youd've been wrong.

Unique Answers included Bolivia (o18), Chile (msflores), Colombia (DSC4), and Peru (J517).

wishbone

I thought maybe it took place in Georgetown.

I now jump CRM! Watch out middle pack, here I come.

Question 15. Name a British Prime Minister who served after 1950.

CRM114

Damn. I thought that read a "permanent" member of the security council.

orangecrush

By the looks of the answers, you probably weren't the only one.

Formerly known as missflores

3rd place! I better celebrate before the next question

Tracer Bullet

3 people mentioned fucking CAPITOL CRITTERS?!!!

Goddamn I hate this game so fucking much.

The Bus

Alright, let's clear the wrong answers first, this time.

Reginald Maudling, who was remembered by Nick Danger from Monty Python episodes, was, unfortunately, never a Prime Minister. He was, however, a Chancellor of the Exchequer, whatever that is.

Smith was obviously a guess by frenchy.

Howard was a guess by wmansir, or perhaps he was thinking of former Australian PM John Howard.

They all get 6 POINTS.

Red Dog

That's what I figured too. I totally guessed at Brazil. I had no idea of any besides the U.S.

Tracer Bullet

I guessed as well. I just figured that pretty much any minorly relevant South American country would have been elected to the Security Council at least once.

Red Dog

There was a Michael Howard who led the Tories for several years this decade too. He was a great foil for Tony Blair during PM Questions.

The Bus

Clement Atlee (2) was on the mid of JasonF and Red Dog.

missflores, Rockmjd23, and Tracer Bullet only had eyes for Edward Heath (3).

Mordred went with the obvious answer of Gordon Brown. Unfortunately, so did DSC4, Funkpie, Jeremy517, and Venusian, earning them (5).

Harold Macmillan was proudly remembered for the decolonization of Africa by orangecrush18. But, no one else cared.

Pharoh remembers Harold Wilson and the Winter of Discontent.

Birrman54, CRM114, and maxfisher all have an unhealthy Margaret Thatcher (3) fetish.

mosquitobite only had to look up at her wall to see her Tony Blair shrine.

And arminius smartly remembered that Winston Churchill was indeed a PM after 1950.

Oh, and John Major (5): belboz, feenst, Jason, The Bus, wishbone.

Rockmjd23

Damn, I guess I'm not the only Monty Python fan here.

Venusian

doh! I should have gone with Blair or Thatcher (the only other ones I knew. didn't know churchill lasted after the war)

Red Dog

I almost went with John Major. Thank goodness I didn't.

The Bus

Question 17. Name a professional sports team (NBA, NHL, NFL, MLB, or MLS) who has a name that evokes American patriotic symbols/ideals.

wishbone

And I thought Winston Churchill would have been a sheep answer.

Red Dog

Maybe. Thought about him, but I wasn't sure if he served as PM after 1950.

Red Dog

Nice pic, Bus. I'll be sitting 7th row right in front of those cheerleaders this season.

CRM114

Me too. That was my clever answer I thought of after I submitted.

Pharoh

And I thought Wilson, having served twice and being relatively recently, would be a fairly popular answer.
