Answer: Martin Van Buren

Martin Van Buren was elected to the Senate in 1821 and reelected six years later, but resigned to become Governor of New York. He later became the 8th U.S. President, after serving as Andrew Jackson's Vice President.
9. If there were a meeting of all former Pope Johns, which of the following would be a stranger among the rest, mainly because he did not exist?

Answer: Pope John XX

The numbering system used for popes did not run smoothly for Pope Johns. Various conflicting accounts have placed Pope Johns where they should not have been. Historians also confused a fictional character with an actual pope. Also some Antipope Johns did not have their number reused, such as Antipope John XVI, when they should have. Pope John XXI took that number as a way of correcting the ordering system, skipping John XX.

This confusion is likely the reason why there has only been one Pope John from 1416-2014 - John XXIII (Pope from 1958-63).
10. It's TV Time! Three of these actresses starred on the classic primetime soap "Dallas". Who is the stranger among them who had a role on the Dallas-rival "Dynasty"?
