-2. 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. What did the boggart reveal that Harry Potter was most afraid of?
-9. What poisonous metal used by hat manufacturers in the 19th century brought on hallucinations and other psychotic symptoms, giving rise to the saying “mad as a hatter”?
-10. What dark-cloaked superhero, who briefly had his own DC Comics series in 1952, made his mark as an invaluable assistant to the Justice League? (Hint: P S)
