What was the surname of the gamekeeper in D H Lawrence's Lady Chatterley Lover? -2. Which university is situated in Cambridge, Massachusetts? -3. Invented in the early 1900s, "John Gabel's Automatic Entertainer" was a forerunner of which device? -4. Hydrogen has a radioactive isotope. What is its name? -5. Who was Anne Mansfield Sullivan's most famous pupil? -6. Twenty-nine is the highest possible score in a hand of cribbage. What scores below this number are impossible to obtain? -7. Who has a villa in Castel Gandolfo? -8. What name is given to the tendency to ascribe human characteristics to non-human creatures? -9. What is the only officially bilingual province in Canada? -10. The rivers Ruhr, Main, Moselle and Necker are all tributaries of which river? -11. How many pieces does each player have in a game of backgammon? -12. Who is this? To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self. I wonder what's on television...?
