Clues for the remaining three:
- One from Europe. He's been in the news recently for uncomfortable reasons
- One not so far from Pooh's suggestion of Saudi Arabia
- One from Africa

I know King Abdullah II of Jordan (obvious reasons), but he's only been on the thrown a dozen years or so. There is also a coolly named Sultan (Said al Said) of Oman. He's been around for a long time...at least enough to take the #4 spot, so I'll say 42 years.

Yes! The Sultan is indeed #4 on the list, and it will be 42 years in July. Well done, Alisha, I thought that would be the hardest one of all for people to answer.

1. King Bhumibol Adulyadej (King Rama IX) , Thailand, 66 years next month - Stitchawl 4 points
2. Queen Elizabeth II, UK and many other countries, 60 years (currently celebrating her Diamond Jubilee) - red_pheonix 4 points
3. [name], Brunei, 44 years - Fbone, 2 points
4. Sultan Qaboos bin Said al Said, Oman, 42 years in September - alishajordan, 4 points
5. Queen Margrethe II, Denmark, 40 years - Orlok 4 points
6. King Carl XVI Gustaf, Sweden, 39 years in September - Fbone 4 points
7.
8. Queen Beatrix, Netherlands, 32 years - Orlok 4 points
9.
10. Emperor Akihito, Japan, 23 years - SneakySnake 1 point, Stitchawl 3 points

Current scores:
Orlok 8 points
Stitchawl 7 points
Fbone 6 points
red_pheonix, alishajordan 4 points
SneakySnake 1 point

For Africa I'm guessing the King of Swaziland. Say 30 years.

For Europe, King Juan Carlos II of Spain. Around 35 years.

Ok, here is an easy one. I hope it's not a repeat.

What is the oldest printing and publishing house in the world?

I need name, country and year first book printed +/-50 years.
