No googling of course :P

6) In politics, who was the previous Chancellor of the Exchequer?

7) In geography, what is the average circumference of the Earth?

8) In astronomy, what is the name of the furthest planet in our Solar System?

9) In chemistry, what is the name of the lightest element in the Universe?

10) In film, what car does James Bond drive in "Tomorrow Never Dies"?

11) (Perhaps a naughty one) What was the name of the company that went into liquidation, and that Freeola kindly gave shelter to some of it's die hard forum members?

12) In History, what year did Joseph Stalin die?

13) In what religion is Ganesh worshiped?

Hopefully I got about 14... some were tough - but some were good (and lucky - i.e. watched the Godfather series the last few nights) and sme questions were from my schooldays.

Others made me cry *yeah, right...maybe made me realise that I shouldn't have dozed off in geography*

Damn my useless movie knowledge as well.

Going to answer this in a minute but:

"19) In geography, what is the 3rd biggest lake?"

I'm assuming in the World? Or is this the UK? North America? Essex??!

We have a new leader!

Congrats, hippy :)

BTW, when you have two people with joint scores like this, doesn't that make them both joint 3rd?
