i was thinking because there wasn't any olympics in 1944 (i didn't take the time to figure it out) ..but i guess i was close? good teaser, i love the olympics !!
at first i thought japan, but then i thought no one because that seemed the way the teaser was headed.
i thought china because they werent mentioned :
Shouldn't this be trivia?
Yes it could fall under trivia, but since there were no actual olympics then, its meant to lead you like there were, so its a trick.
had to get my history for that one lol
Great teaser, but E-Z!
i thought that 1 was really obvious
Could there be one which was less obvious?
Nice even though i got it wrong i didnt know world war 2 was in 1944 well now i do
this was really easy. of course, it might have been because i just read the diary of anne frank!!!!
