I tried to go relatively obvious here, but as usual I am now thinking it was a mistake. Either go totally sheep or the most obscure.

Stephen Harper was a decent answer, worth 3 points

Imagine you're the captain of a basketball team. Who would be your first pick, and who would be your last pick?

Silvio Berlusconi was only slight worse; he was worth 4 points
Tommy Ceez
Thor Simpson

As expected, middling.

Why did they let the Governor of Canada go to this?

This seems to be the strategy to go with...

I considered Berlusconi and Sarkozy, let's hope my answer is better.

Another good choice was Gordon Brown: 3 points

I went with the least obvious that I knew (which isn't much) which is probably what others did - so it will probably be matched a lot.

Canada! Fuck yeah!

Angela Merkel has killer hook shot.

ok, better than Berlusconi, but is it better than Sarkozy?

Nicholas Sarkozy says "Damn, that is one fiiiiiine answer." 5 points

But not as fine as Barack Obama. 3 points for:

That leaves four answers: 1 bad one, 2 very good ones, and 1 very bad one.

Shoulda picked Lula.

Let's start with the very bad one. Mordred gets 11 points for his answer of "USA."


Yes. Yes you did.

Now I'm sure I misread the question.

In fairness, my original answer of China was about 752 times worse.

I think it's fairly obvious that I meant to say Bush.

If USA is bad, what's very bad? Alpha Centauri?

That leaves:


Angela M'Urkel


Dmitri Medvedev

and


Jacob Zuma

Those of you who have been using the scorecard that can be found at the center of your programs have no doubt realized that there are 11 players left unaccounted for. Since Mordred's wrong answer was worth 11 points, that means 9 people matched on one of those three leaders and the other two are unique.
