Albino Luciani was Pope John Paul I. The question
was basically what was Pope John Paul I's real name.
To a Jewish person born after his papacy who doesn't
need to know it, it's impressive, especially since he
was able to name the other three popes that were
given as choices. Paddington Bear, on the other hand,
is not to me, since it is one of those things that I
grew up with. I think that the million dollar
questions on WWTBAM are intentionally made easier than some
at the lower levels... It's much better to say
you've had 7 million-dollar winners than say 7 $500,000
winners who were completely befuddled by an ultra-obscure
question.
