Hey, Naples may not be the capital now but at least you named an important Italian city? I'm taking a European History course and we're starting the unification of Italy 1850's/60s and it's confusing stuff.
I've always been proud of my memory, have a 99% "sight" memory (I'd make a good factory inspector), can tell you approximately on what page a reference is, know which "side" and where on the page and how far into the book, that sort of thing.
The questions I had trouble with were when "common" sayings were given and one had to explain what they meant! One doesn't really think about how to explain what "a rolling stone gathers no moss" means and why you'd use it. LOL I muffed one of them I remember but fortunately don't remember which one. But I felt so dumb because it takes so many more words to explain and here you have something so neatly packaged rather than bumbling like I felt I was being. It just felt so wrong.
