Hobart would have to be close, just south of Hobart is the southern most pub in the world. So maybe Australia and Alaska? Or Newzealand south Island and Finland Helsinki ?

Can I think aloud? How many go's do we get?

What? ..Yeah I know, Im like one of those pratts just pressing the buzzer continually.

"No sorry contestant number 4 you already had a go, I'll ask you to leave the buzzer alone now if you would "

[CGM]

You are correct sir. X takes this one. Egypt's Anwar Sadat was co-winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, along with Israel's Menachim Begin, for the negotiation of the Camp David Accord, a peace treaty between their two countries. Jimmy Carter played a key role in the negotiations.

Sadat was killed a few years later when several gunmen, disguised as soldiers as I recall, jumped out of a truck and open fire while Sadat was viewing a parade.

This provides a segue into another question. Begin and Sadat marked the first time the Nobel Peace Prize was shared between an Arab and Israeli leader. What was the second time?

Yassir Arafat shared it with Yitzhak (sp?) Rabin and, I think, maybe also Shimon Peres after the Oslo accords. 1994?

Is that the one you're thinking of?

That's the one. I don't think Peres was involved. Oslo accords dealt with a peace deal between Israel and Palestinians, among other things. Ironically, Rabin was also assassinated. As far as I can tell both Sadat and Rabin were killed by radical elements of their own country who were opposed to the very deals that won them the Nobel Peace Prize in the first place.

Which best selling and often banned book apparently inspired Mark David Chapman to murder John Lennon?
