See if there is interest for this.

1. Each day I will post 10 questions, at random times of the day.
2. Each Quiz runs exactly 24 hours.
3. The first person that has all 10 questions right, wins. Or if no one has all questions right, the best one wins.
4. You can only post answers ONCE for the same quiz.
5. No cash involved. Just glory. :)

I can only give the answers for my half of the questions.

6. Peru
7. Marie Sklodowska Curie
8. Virgil
9. Valentina Tereshkova
10. Lady Jane Grey

and I think we can really go on and let Greyling post tutti-frutti II.

Yes, it has an A, in Latin as well as in English, but I didn't check the spelling. Again "lost in translation" because I'm used to "Eneida".

*lol* - for a second I thought we were doing it one at a time today, and then whoever got stuck with the last remaining question and could or couldn't answer it had to make the new quiz - although it would of course be a little problematic if no one tried answering it :p

But PMing the answers to the quiz maker so the winner would be a surprise might work - except that you spoke of getting a PM-overload so you couldn't log in, LED :D

I'll just hang on to "tutti-frutti" II for an hour or so in case someone else - *looks in the direction of Dr. Jones* - wants to give it a try?

In the mean time I'll resurrect yesterday's Tintin-fling with this _fascinating_ bit of statistical info: In 2005 there were 511 people registred in Sweden with the first name "Tintin" (217 men og 294 women)!!
