Question 5b : Name two German chancelors. You should be able to get two out of the entire history of Germany

[Aaron]

I was a redditor 2 years ago, but not anymore.

Don't know the answer to your question btw

[Lysol]

The Führer Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels!

[Hunchman801]

Don't forget the wonderful r/watchpeopledie!

Yeah, I thought I'd refrain from mentioning that one here.

Regarding the question, Otto von Bismarck and Adolf Hitler?

[Pirez]

The Führer Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels!

Was expecting the first, not the second.

Question 7 : How many countries does the Alps cross? Name them.

[Hunchman801]

Well I can think of France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria. I would think Germany, Slovenia and Liechtenstein must count too, so that's seven here.

[Pirez]

Unfortunately, one is missing. You shall get the point in 24h unless someone nabs it for you.

[Aaron]

Is it Croatia, France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Germany, Slovenia and Liechtenstein?

[Hunchman801]

I would think it's only the Dinaric Alps in Croatia.

[Pirez]

It is not Croatia, but rather Monaco, which Wikipedia states as country and Wikipedia is never wrong.

Either way, you get the point Hunch

Question 7 : What kind of revolution did Josquin Des Prés bring to the world of music in the 15th century?

[PluMGMK]

How come Humch is in the scoreboard twice and Ray is there thrice?

As for the question, I have no idea, so I'll just guess he invented modern notation.

[Hunchman801]

How come Humch is in the scoreboard twice and Ray is there thrice?

Looks like my two points are there but separately.

[Pirez]

How come Humch is in the scoreboard twice and Ray is there thrice?

It's about goddamn time somebody noticed. I originally didn't notice myself that Ray was on the list twice but when I got that the mistake was done three questions prior and that nodoby noticed I decided to turn it into a feature.

As for your answer to the question, I'm afraid it's not it but I'm going to let you try again with a hint : Try to picture today's money-making music and the money-making music of the 1500s and see if you can find the major difference.

[PluMGMK]

He was the first patron of music?

[Pirez]

I'm afraid not. And since nobody else wants to at least try, I'll just drop the answer and move on.

Josquin Des Prés is the first to mix pagan and sacred music together, i.e. he is the first to blend instrument with voices. Before that, it was either choir or instrumental.

Question 7b : In mid-august of this year a highway bridge collapsed, killing 43. In what developped country did this happen?

[PluMGMK]

Italy, wasn't it?

[Pirez]

Italy is the correct answer. Also time to correct the standings
