Cluedo seems to be the one which caught people out...

@jonsie - as a matter of interest, what answer would you have given for the US President? and I guess you knew The Kinks one???

Too right, it was my "devious mind". Last weekend, I was looking for questions and in a very old history book of mine came across some facts about US presidents. So it was really a "chance" find on my part.
