I got answers quickly for all except no. 4. Not always the best ones, but answers. Then after I’d put them in I was sitting there trying to think of a slogan, and thought “Loose lips sink ships. That’s a catchy rhyme, so easy to remember.” It’s a testimony to the power of that slogan that 65 years after the Battle of the Atlantic reached it’s height, it’s still easy to remember. I’m a little disappointed about losing the coinflip for the first question. And yes, I should have got M_A_S\*H. And Catch-22. ---
