Why couldn't question 1 have read....'Donald Trump is the 45th President, who will be the 46th?'

I didn`t ask that because I don`t want e-mails and tweets from Trump saying "That`s me. I`m the 46th.

I won. It`s fixed. I demand a recount and all those with the Silver Thinker are void"

Oh lord - that will be a list of guesses @Mi-Amigo 

[Mi-Amigo]

Guesses sometimes pay off @LukasB 

Look forward to pm with your eight answers any time after 12 noon today

Good luck. 

[Martin-O2]
