Below are the quiz answers. Here are the quiz questions without answers.
The answer to question 28 was corrected (11 Mar 2007) from 'scapular' to 'scapula'. (Thanks M Weetch)
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.
