This is a new page for answers to my various quizzes, as the previous one was targeted with spam.
I'll try to start each set of answers with a link to the original thread. Also I'll try to leave a 'spoiler' space before the answers in case anyone hasn't seen the original quiz.

Feel free to re-use any of my quizzes, either on a not-for-profit basis, or for a good cause.

While I try to avoid giving answers in the original quiz thread I'm happy to discuss answers here. This includes for anyone who can't understand any tortuous, or weird links.

Cheers
Nigel

My husband adores your quizzes Nigel. He can't actually do them of course, but he just loves the peace and quiet while I puzzle over them.
