    14/20 - disappointed. But for example, I had no idea Churchill had won a Nobel prize - couldn't even begin to guess what for. Of those in the list :Malala Yousafzai is one I have most respect and most hope for.

    Churchill could have had one for winning a war while under the influence of alcohol.
