ReplyDeleteIf you word questions badly, then you must expect to get unexpected answers...
I must admit that I would give the examiner 0/100 for the first question. Napoleon died in 1821 on St Helena from (not proven) stomach cancer, I suppose you could say this was his last battle, but not in the way meant.
ReplyDeleteSorry to be such a pedant.

@ Daedalus ..
ReplyDeleteInteresting you should mention stomach cancer as being the cause of Napoleon's death ..
I've been to St Helena & to the house where Napoleon lived & died .. and was told that his death was due to Arsenic poisoning, which allegedly came from a component of the wallpaper & which he, unknowingly, ingested over a period of years..
Isn't his death attributed by some to poisoning by the vile english / british / uk ians
ReplyDeleteThis kid is a genius and it was thought that he died of arsenic poisoning, however recent studies show from other corpses of the time, arsenic was a fairly common attribute. It would be safe to assume that arsenic digestion was a by product of some sort of habit developed and practiced at the time. So, if he died of arsenic poisoning, already having built a tolerance up for it during the span of his natural life, it would have been an extreme amount of arsenic that would be needed to kill him, although the traces that were found was right around average. That said, it would be a fair assumption to assume that he could not have died from arsenic poisoning but from other, natural causes.
