Quizballs accepts no liability for any arguments, lost bets, or

Below are the quiz answers. Here are the quiz questions without
answers.
Please note: question 20 was replaced (16 Mar 2007) due to the
difficulty in providing a correct unequivocal answer to: What causes Lily
Tomlin to shrink in the 1981 film The Incredible Shrinking Woman? The answer
was incompletely stated in this quiz as 'perfume', but the full correct answer
(various lifestyle and household chemicals and additives) is not well-suited to
a quiz. (Thanks Razzle)
