4 today. Better - but like many of you I was hoping for a 5 as well
1 :) Red velvet. seems pretty common today and I assumed would be well known
2 :) Book of Kells. Also thought this was well-known... but I come from Boston, and also part of our honeymoon was in Ireland.
3 :( oligarchy, which I thought might be right.
4 :( Coldplay. Doh. Guess I had too loose a definition of modern rock.
5 :) Iran. Was afraid this would be wrong but glad it was not.
6 :) Jennifer Love Hewitt. A defining actress of my adolescence, for better or worse.
