Nitpick
Quote:
9.Which 14-mile track was used for the last time for Formula 1 in 1976 as it was deemed too dangerous?

The Nurbergring

Actually the Nordschleife at Nuerburg - they still use the new track for the European Grand Prix

6.In which year did Les Miserables open on Broadway?
There are no reliable records for the actual first production but there is this entry from Peter Minuit’s diary.

October 14th 1626

Saw the all Indian production of Les Miserables tonight.

I didn’t see what the big deal was.

Which are the same colours that Latvia uses.

Goldfish

Tapioca & Casdave-Yep goldfish is right.
And I hadn’t thought of Latvia.Fortunately no-one else had.
graememorrison-Hearts is one and roger thornhill got the other-Queen of the South.Mr thornhill also got the mahjongg and Capernaum right
cher3 got Dracula right.
And that new paperclip shaped thing isn’t anything to do with the Nurburgring apart from sharing its name.Which the F1 purists hate.The original is the only one that can truly be considered to merit the name of the Ring :slight_smile:

Broadway? In 1626?
Jamestown wasn’t even settled until 1607, and the colonies didn’t expand that fast.

And Ice, what about my answers (except for the book one)?

Good quiz, Iceman. Mr Thornhill got Old Kent Road right, did he not, my son?

I can’t believe no-one has got this yet.

Marge Simpson.

Ice, can I second the request for a complete list of answers? email should be in my profile, or maybe stick it in a spoiler for everyone?
These are tough but curiously addictive

From the DAR website
On May 4, 1626, Minuit arrived at the mouth of the Hudson River to take up his assignment as the third director of the New Netherland Colony, the Dutch settlement centered at the southern tip of Manhattan that was established in 1624.
Broadway exisited as an Indian trail that ran N/S on the island before the Dutch ever got here. Les Miz and Phantom and Cats were all playing in the area now know as Times Square although Cats was originally about cougars.

Yep.They’ll be on their way soon.Full answers will go up in a couple of weeks.
Since people like it,then I could put one up each month if folks would like and raise a bit of money for charity by charging people a few dollars for each one.
Good idea?

4.Medals are awarded for 1st-3rd in the Olympics.What
