Well, I was better at estimating :). I got 4, felt like that was about all I was the least bit confident about.

50%, I was excited when I got the firt 2 just by pure luck :).

Actually I have no idea of most of the dates, I guessed 2 by pure luck, as I guessed the winnier in Las Palmas.

60% for me too. But involves a lot of guesswork.

30% first time, 30% second time.
It's consistent, but why I am worried now?

An inspired guess on the last question saved me from getting 0% ...

I got 10 red balls but some of them were awfully close to the green one.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

The 1959 Bermuda Bowl was actually won by Italy, as were the
1958 and 1957 Bermuda Bowls. I didn't check any of the other answers.

And the first Bermuda Bowl, which was held in 1950, was won by the US, with Great Britain second and Sweden/Iceland third - note that this answer was not included in the 5 offered. Chip kept saying that was what he wanted to answer, so he's claiming that he got 6 right, instead of the actual 5; he also pointed out to me that he got all of the ones that occurred during his lifetime right ;)

I asked about the 3 medalists and did not mean the exactly order :)

Sure the first took place in 1950, this was my type error, I am very sorry for it!
