I saw this once. Every normal answer that you think is right, is wrong. The 100 year war did NOT last 100 years.

The one hundred year war lasted 116 years!

Wow! I haven't seen stuff like this since I was in middle and high school and me and daddy used to give each other "pop quizzes" like this for fun! We used to compete and see who could stump who! The loser had to buy a coke and a candy bar for the other one! Needless to say, I bought a lot of cokes and candy bars!
Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
