Typing "teardrop" automatically gives you "tea". Maybe change one of the questions? Or at least put the "teardrop" question after the "tea" question.

Invaders who were driven out of the country within within a generation or two? The Cholas were driven out by Vijayabahu the Great before they could ever really assimilate or be seen as anything but invaders, and they really held only the northern third of the island for any length of time.

Yeah, chitrajainn is correct. Most Sanskrit/Hindi words are angliscised by adding an "a" at the end. Ram should be accepted.

Glad Kandy was on the quiz. On a 9-day trip to SL with my family back in the late 90s, that city was a real high point.
