Below are the quiz answers. Here are the
quiz questions
without answers.
Note: The supporting info for answer 49 was
corrected on 8 Feb 2007 - The Battle of The Somme was in 1916, not 1918 as
previously stated. The main answer to the question was correct (First World
War) - the error was in the supporting info about the year, (ack J P Corcoran).
The answer to question 35 was extended on 19 Jun 2007 to include 'skein'
(thanks B Curran and E Ward).
