The girl was Havivra Da Ifrile and the con was Louis-Auguste Cyparis.

I'll throw in a third - Léon Compère-Léandre, living on the edge of the city, escaped with severe burns.

Well, thank you. From which good old movie does the following quote come: “Psychologically, I’m very confused, but personally I feel just wonderful.”

Galvo has just granted himself the all-clear.

Who is the only lady to win the Best Actress Oscar twice in a row? And what were the movies?

Hint: She was known as the "Viennese Teardrop". That should make it easy for you.

Correct, cassandra. But I have to apologise for asking the question incorrectly. I said the only lady, and that was wrong. Luise Rainer also won twice in a row - in 1936 for 'The Great Ziegfield' and the following year for 'The Good Earth'. Luise was known as the Viennese Teardrop.

Over to you, cassandra.

I assume we are talking about the current year and the highest possible tax rate since it can vary across income levels.

I have no idea but will guess one of those high standard-of-living countries in Europe. Norway by any chance?

Galvo took my only other guess!

All European countries are small to an American. :) (Liechtenstein, Andorra, The Vatican? How small are we talking here?)  :rofl;

I have not been keeping track of who has got themselves into the worst financial trouble over there, but I'll try a more serious guess and say Portugal.

No,no, no I don't want to think of a next question, as mine seem to be a bit unpopular, so here is the last clue
No Galvo its not that small. The country has surprised us with Herman Achille Van Rompuy,the first long-term and full-time President of the European Council (little bit of international education here)
