I have entered. Not that I expect much, especially as some are guesses and others I didn't even do that!

So in the interests of unity and harmony I'm sending you some answers @Mi-Amigo

Some I know and some I don't know but can have a general decent stab at, using the guesstimate scale.

@jonsie

I wasn't having a dig at or accusing anyone.

It was a regrettable statement taken out of context (It was supposed to be a light hearted cry of exasperation)

Good luck with yours and everyone's answers.
