Who was Mahatma 'Mohandas' Gandhi?

A lighter moment!

A friend forwarded some questions and answers in a British university quiz. The one that follows pertain to a well-known international statesman:

Bamber Gascoigne: What was Gandhi's first name?
Contestant: Goosey, Goosey?

Then in the 'Weakest Link', a popular TV quiz show, we have:

Anne Robinson: Who was a famous Indian leader, whose name begins with G, revered by millions, who was assassinated and received a state funeral?
Contestant: Geronimo.

In the second quiz, except for the reference to a state funeral and the 'qualifying' numbers of those who revered him, I might have given the contestant a mark ;-)
