            Elle, I'm really sorry that those 2 answers don't work for you
            I'm wondering what the reason might be...

            Hi KAM, no I have absolutly no idea on 51c. Tried everything I could think of, but I'm not even quite sure what the question is

            I started 52, but stuck on 3rd question. Found a person, but what now?
            EDIT: Doh, got it

            Finished chain 52

            3rd question chain 53, found name and year, but it's only 3 words, not 4. Tried also with title, with his nickname etc. What am I missing?
            Btw, I assume it's "founded" and not "found", right?

              Hi Mistery. I PMed the creator and he said that maybe it's a problem with different keyboards. So he will be eliminating the accents from the answers in order to correct this problem. I'll go back and check whether my answers work now.

              As for 53C insert the word "in" infront of the date

                I hope that these changes will fix your issues

                ARRGH, that's mean!

                Thank you

                Just starting 55, do I have to look for a building? Did I understand the question correctly?
                Hmmm, I have found some blocks, but none of them work

                  Google that exact phrase. It will give you the answer.

                      I couldn't find the prof either I got to skip a few questions since no one was around to help me out.

                      BTW can I have a hint for 44A about the reality series? The one I get is only 2 words not 4!

                        If you got one with Roman numerals, change it to normal number - there are different spellings on wiki


                        ARGH, I went back to check 44, but now 57 gives me the same question as on 44


                        EDIT
                        Sorry, my bad, I got confused
                        My hint was for 57
                        Wait, gonna check 44 again.

                        Okay just look for r****** t******** b****** plus year, and one of the first results it will be

                          Going back and forth tends to get a bit confusing at times. It happens to me all the time

                            This is why I don't go back and forth, only when I try to help I go back to see what the question was (if I'm not in the middle of a chain ).

                            Chain 58 2nd question, I found only 1 country but this doesn't work
                            EDIT: Got it, needed another name for it.

                              Does 44C refer to the actress on 44B?

                              58B: I had the same problem too! Another name for that country ?

                              EDIT: Worked out 44C!

                                Yes, there is an old name and a new name.

                                Ah great, sorry I was sidetracked with helping out on another issue.

                                Hmmm, chain 58 question 3, nothing yet.
                                Ah, got it, needed other name ... again

                                Stuck now on 4th question...
                                Still stuck, I looked up characters from his famous works but...
                                Doh! I got it. Figure means to me character though.
