Which compactly built dog, part bulldog with a screw tail, takes its name from the city where it was first developed? -3. The iceberg-filled Baffin Bay separates northern Canada from what other country? -4. Where in the South are you when the license plates claim “Stars Fell On ____”? -5. Who overcame a childhood case of polio to become widely regarded as the greatest golfer of all time? -6. Citizens of which nation curse an enemy by secretly placing an offering on their back steps – thus inviting in supernatural demons? -7. At 24 pounds per person, which country’s citizens chow down the most chocolate annually? -8. In The Prisoner of Azkaban, the Hogwarts students learn to defeat boggarts.

The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.
