I'll post up the running scores every sunday. If you look at post 61 you'll see how they stood end of last week.

The answer to question 12 is Horology. Only two correct answers. Just to clarify Chronology is the science of arranging events in their order of occurrence in time, for those who answered as chronology.

Question 13: Name the year in which: Israel and Egypt established diplomatic relations; President Tito dies; we found out who shot JR; The Empire Strikes Back is released and CNN is launched.
 
Okay the answer to question 13 is 1980. No wrong answers recieved.

Question 14: What have the following have in common; JFKs assassins assassin; Norma Jeans best friend; a precious gift for those born in September and Dorothys' city?
 
Answer to question 14 was precious stones. JFKs assassins assassin was Jack Ruby. Norma Jeans best friend was Diamond, as in Diamonds are a girls best friend sung by Norma Jean, better known as Marilyn Monroe. A sapphire is the birthstone for those born in September and Dorothys city is the Emerald city out of The Wizard of Oz. Only two recieved answers. So the current scoers are:

Tsuyoiko.................18
Lledargo.................12
Half-n-Half...............0
Dutch Baka...............5
Hezam.....................7
FrustratedDave ........7
Ather ......................0
Mikawa Ossan..........0

Question 15: In the book Les Miserables how many children did the Thenardiers have?
 
Do you get more points for answering first?
No, sorry.

The answer to question 15 is five. Two Daughters, Eponine and Azelma; and three sons, of which only one is named who is Gavroche. The other two only have a quick mention in the book as the Thenardiers gave them away soon after they had them. Gavroche meets them briefly, but is unaware they are his brothers.

Question 16: Which manga written by Eiji Otsuka was adapted by Takashi Miike as a mini-series?
 
Answer to 16 is MPD Psycho.

There will be, meanwhile the answer to 17 is Chordata.

Question 18:Where would you find the Archeron Fossae, Amazonis Planitia and Syrtis Major?
 
Well all answers recieved for Q18 were correct. All are features on Mars.

Hahaha, my first instinct was to look at the filename of the picture for a clue - I should have guessed you were too clever for that :D
 
My non-wiki policy is not serving me well....

All I can say about the flag is that it seems to have a certain amount of U.S. influence.

My new goal is to get ONE point! If I can do that, I'll be content. Ignorance may not really be bliss, but I'm content with that.

Almost did, but then realised you lot are a sneaky bunch:D

Only one answer recieved and it was correct. It is the flag of Brittany.

Question 20: I am a singer/songwriter/musician born in 1946 in Zanzibar. At 8 I was sent to St. Pters School in Panchgani and at 17 moved to Feltham, Middlesex, England. I studied art at college and went on to design the Bands crest. The band I am most famous for formed in 1971 and released its first album in 1973. I died in 1991 from an AIDS related illness. My statue can be seen at Montreux, Switzerland. Who am I?

Okay the answer to Question 21 is 40. You just add up the numerical values of the letters in the name ie: a=1, b=2, etc. David is 4+1+22+9+4=40.

Question 22: Name the author who wrote Rashomon?
