Only got 2. and 11. However, they were not guesses. For 2, I know that the Portuguese did not reach South America and they did not discover the mouths of the Limpopo and Mekong rivers. And for 11, I remember Hastings Banda from a Wikipedia article I read before of the oldest people holding a political position.😁
