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

Thanks, Koala - the Bonzos never got anywhere in the States, did they make any waves down under?
