I only got two! Solidarity I knew and cracking the Nazi code I guessed.
Cracking the Nazi code was the one I guessed too (the theatre in Gdansk was another guess, but a more logical one, not "sucked out of a finger"). On the matter of "key theories", I had the help of a little rhyme all of us used to learn in primary school when we came to Copernicus:
"wstrzymal slonce, ruszyl ziemie;
polskie go wydalo plemie"
(he stopped the Sun, he moved the Earth;
the Polish tribe gave him forth)
Weronika, do they still teach that one?
What has me totally floored is Miki's getting Winnie the Pooh one correctly; *how on Earth???* I've always thought the translation of the book (and the name) was excellent (done by the daughter of one of our best 20th century poets), but very, very far from the original (and very, very close to the spirit of the Polish language)... :)
