Nope. I'm not great at mythology.

2. A monarch of England and Ireland who ruled in the mid-16th century—a devout Catholic and issue of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon—has a nickname in Protestant hagiography that is also used as the name of both a supernatural being from folklore and a cocktail. What is that nickname?

Gimmie for anyone in their mid-thirties or older I would think. 

4. "Three-Country Cairn" (Treriksrøysa/Treriksröset/Kolmen valtakunnan rajapyykki) is the name of a monument that marks an international border shared by what three nations?
Correct Answer: NORWAY, SWEDEN, FINLAND
Your Answer: Sweden/Finland/Norway
Points Assigned: 2

I lived in Sweden and Finland so recognized both languages and knew the other one was a scandic language. Denmark doesn't share a border with Finland so it had to be Norway.

Points Assigned: 3

I had no idea. I had heard of Spalding Gray. Doubt my one man show will do the trick.
