1. “Stan’s the man”. Actually he isn’t he’s a baby … . The man is Dr Manning. So what and where is Stan?<\/p>\n
2. “It’s missing” said the critics of Murray’s (publisher) latest book in November 1959 – but one was found a year or two later in Solnhofen and properly identified within another couple of years. It didn’t stop the critics who still insist that other bits are missing – even after they are found. What is missing, what was found in 1861, and what was Murray’s book?<\/p>\n
3. It’s Walt Disney so of course they get the name wrong. And it’s missing. In London. And much too large to hide. Peter Ustinov was sufficiently cosmopolitan to be any nationality – so he was Chinese. Molly Weir was insufficiently cosmopolitan to be anything other than a Scots nanny. So what was ‘missing’ this time – wrong and right names – and who designed the building it was ‘stolen’ from? As a bonus you can say which bit of Manchester he also designed …<\/p>\n
4. There isn’t one swimming around in Scotland despite the 1934 surgeon’s photograph but, if there was, it would be quite different from the above three. So what might it be – if it existed. Which it doesn’t.<\/p>\n
5. They (surely you know what we’re talking about by now) divide into two groups – but only (part of) one of the groups is around with us now. Which of the two groups is that?<\/p>\n
6. Who named them? This person was responsible for 33 at the Crystal Palace (NOT three football teams!) and even organised a dinner in one!<\/p>\n
7. George and Arthur’s lot are linked to mythological versions and they pop up in Ankh Morpork and Hogwarts. What?<\/p>\n
8. So what word should I have used as the title for this quiz rather than ‘Middle Age’?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
