Really, Tirol -- commonly spelled Tyrol in English -- is a region on
the Italian/Austrian border. The part that's in Austria is a province
of that country, called simply Tirol (so the question and expected
answer are correct); the part that's in Italy isn't.

So you're saying Welsh people are stupid? He's referred to as
"Principal Skinner" quite often on the show. Americans know what a
headmaster is, after all.

And to clarify that other matter, according to the judge, Seymour
Skinner is indeed his name.

Refer to the episode "The Principal and the Pauper" for another

"The Principal and the Pauper" ended with the townsfolk tying the real
Seymour Skinner to a chair, putting it on a train car, and declaring Armin
Tamzarian to be Seymour Skinner and that they would never speak of this
matter again.

(It was spoken about this past season in "I, D'ohbot", when Skinner made a
comment about Lisa naming her sixth or seventh cat "Snowball II".)

So do Britons. And what you call a principal, we'd call a headmaster.
So, in this quiz's context, "headmaster" is an accurate description.

Au contraire -- a better name, just a worse mistake.

At least he correctly recognised her as a princess, it's just a shame
she was briefly known as no other than Princess David.

Nope. William Christopher in the series, and IMDB tells me it was Rene
Auberjonois in the fillum.

Of course, almost everybody on the show (excepting Agnes and Mrs.
Krabappel) refers to him as Principal Skinner. Or do they redub the
dialog in the UK to call him "headmaster"?

That was my point, you insufferable git. The implication of the
puzzle poser was that Welsh pubgoers would not know what the
"principal" of a school on an American cartoon was. In this quiz's
context, Tony Blair would be President of England? "Headmaster" is not
an accurate description, because the character's name is "Principal
Skinner". And why do you English people keep penguins on top of your
