Well I haven’t got a clue about Q6, but I do know Q7 (although I’m not sure what exact answer you are after!). I have offered to swap with lynne-42…
I have to ask, how much is 50 REAL dollars in British quid? Us guys have families to support you know.
A lot more than it was a couple of years ago!
BTW for Q3, I’m searching in vain for evidence of the final instalment in Thomas Hardy’s long running but obscure mountaineering saga, The Fell: Fatal Downhill Ten 
At the moment 50 dollars equals about 32 pounds.
Colophon: I did ask you not to post answers in this thread. Darn it! I was relying on not everyone being such an astute Hardy scholar as you. By the way, I must one day lend you my copy of Eliot’s ‘A Wellhead Heft Flint Toll’. By no means her finest work, it nonetheless shows promise.
I’ll swap $40 for all the answers.
I’ve just astonished myself by tracking down the answer to question 8.
Yours for the price of 40 bags of roasted peanuts…
I’ll swap you for a well-thumbed copy of Theft-Filled Anal Hell Town.
The deal has been done!
I am impressed,** Colophon**. I think I got the better end of that deal. No way would I have got that!
I’m going to keep thinking on Q10 now that I have a clue… don’t want to give away my Q8 bargaining chip too cheaply
Edit: Just figured it out - I was almost there with the idea I PM’d to lynne.
So I have 6, 7, 8 and 10 now.
I have half an idea for Q4 too, but I think I might be barking up the wrong tree. How specific an answer are we looking for, ianzin?
Also, are you positive it’s seven years in Q5? I have a perfect answer, but it’s nine years. 
Well, you’re both too young to read Charlotte Bronte’s censored “Elf Filth: new and total hell”. I’ll just reread it myself.
I’ve found one possibly plausible answer to Q2 as well, thinking (very) laterally. I can’t believe it’s what the OP had in mind, though.
State of play so far…
Q1: No idea
Q2: Possible
Q3: Nope, unless Flannel Halted Towel Filth was a little known 19th-century domestic tale.
Q4: Possible
Q5: No, but have a great answer with a 9-year span
Q6: Definite
Q7: Yes, but not sure exactly what answer is required
Q8: Definite
Q9: No idea
Q10: Definite
Sure about 6,7 and 10. No idea about any of the others. If I don’t get #2 soon, I may have to join the Church to find out. And then I’ll probably discover it’s a different Jesus all together.
I got a valid answer for #5. Nothing else, though.
Bah, thought I had #5, but it was only 6 years. Hmmm…
I’m not trying to be opaque, but I’m not sure how to quantify that without also giving clues as to the answer.
Yes, in the answer I have it is seven years. I refer you to my earlier response, “I will happily accept any submitted answer that I think is accurate and fair, even if it’s not the specific answer I had in mind.”
I have a good answer for question 5, satisfying all of the particulars.
-DF
I think you’re right, I believe I have the answer after only a few minutes of thought. No clue on any of the others yet.
I got #3 without even blinking. I can’t imagine what you are all talking about with #6. I suspect it is something to do with science fiction, therefore screwing me royally.
I’ve been staring at that one for hours and got nowhere. Still, between the collective brainpower of the Dope, we only have 1, 2, 4 and 9 to go.
I have an answer for 2, but it’s not very good.
Sigmagirl - Q6 is not about science fiction, but neither is it the real world. (I hope that is not too much of a clue.)
