These are the quiz questions. Here are the quiz answers with
the questions. A link to the quiz answers also follows the questions below.
The spelling of the answer to question 28 was corrected on 11 Mar
2007.
Question 11 ('Who was the first actress to win an Oscar and an Emmy
in the same year?') was replaced (6 Nov 2007) due to inaccuracy (correct answer
should be Liza Minelli, not Helen Hunt), although the release dates of the four
films involved make the question rather cumbersome and open to debate, hence
its replacement. My thanks to S McCauley for this correction.
