and I am not 100% sure on which one that was discontinued.)

> 2 In which year was the Soviet Union dissolved?

1991

> 3 What cartoon characters catchphrase was “Exit, stage left”?

Rush made a live album with that name, although they are not really
cartoon characters.

> 4 What creature is the traditional symbol of the medical profession?

Serpent

Californium

Katarina Witt
