Great quiz as always. But could you give some leeway on the spelling of Ceaușescu? I can never spell that dictator's name correctly.

The allowable answer type-ins for the C answer have been set up as the Regex ^CH?E?AUSH?ESH?[CK]O?U. For Regex newbies, that means you will earn the point if you enter Cheausheshcou, Cheausheshkou, or any variation on those two answers that leaves out any or all of the letters h, e, h, h and o - which of course means that Ceausescu works too.
