Once again, the Bewildered Gardener is holding its quiz night. Some are a breeze, a couple are a little bit more head-scratchers... smile

-1. Sir Christopher Cockerell was most famous for what invention?
-2. In ten pin bowling, what are the bedposts?
-3. What geothermal Icelandic site has the same name as a 1980 movie?
-4. What is the system of weights use for precious metals and gems called?
-5. What are Ceres, Pallas, Juno and Vesta?
-6. On "The Intro and the Outro" what instrument is played by Princess Anne?
-7. Which fictional TV character was said to have been a relief pitcher for the Boston Red Sox?
-8. Who ran the first sub-four-minute mile?
-9. To what foodstuff does the adjective "caseous" apply?
-10. Dorothy, Rose, Blanche and...?
-11. What is the official name for the # character (otherwise known as the hashtag, gate or pound sign)? (Hope that came out OK on non-UK computers!)
-12. What does the Beaufort scale measure?


To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self.
I wonder what's on television...?

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.
