Re: Psychology trivia question

[Bill Scott]

Hmm, if I were a grade 8 student (that's Canadian for 8th grader) back 
in 1959 in a social studies "bee" and I answered one of the following to 
the question: "Who is the head of state of South Africa"
a. Hendrik F. Verwoerd
b. Queen Elizabeth II

Which answer would get me the prize? Seems that "b" would be a pretty 
easy answer for lots of questions. What would have been the answer if 
the "state" was Canada?

I would bet that the Prime Minister of South Africa under the 
apartheid constitution was not the Head of State (which was the trivia 
question posed) but only the Head of Government. Someone known as the 
Queen would have been the South African Head of State in the late-50s 
and early '60s, no?
