Completely agree with Cleoriff… There are some I definitely have right then others I couldn’t even provide a sensible guess for!

Great mixture it has to be said, thanks Mi-Amigo…. Answers have been PM’d.

[Cleoriff]

Thanks @Comben ...mainly for a picture of my favourite Cap'n. Jack Sparrow *Drooling* 😂

That's one question I hope I've got correct as I've watch every Pirates of the Caribbean film at least 3 times 😍

Q5 PEOPLE 2 - Who invented the spinning jenny in 1768 and the water frame, used in spinning, in 1769 ?

A5   This was a QI-style question, with the answer which most people think being wrong.

        Richard Arkwright is incorrect. The correct answer is Thomas Higgs, a Lancashire mechanic, who

        invented the "spinning jenny" in 1768 and named it after his daughter. Later that year, 1768, James

        Hargreaves improved on the "spnning jenny". In 1769, Higgs invented the water-frame used in spinning

        which Arkwright of Preston appropriated and got the credit for a machine he didn`t invent.

        sources = Dictionary of Inventions and Discoveries [ed E F Carter] 1974; The Book of Inventions and

        Discoveries [assistant ed V-A G d`Estang] 1990. 

Q6 MUSIC 2 - How many pipes, in total, are in Great Highland bagpipes ?

                          Uncle Jack ?  

A7   "Dead Men Tell No Tales"

[RafaC]

Knew I wasn't going to get a good score out of this one.
Thanks @Mi-Amigo and well done everyone!

[gmarkj]

Pleased I got as many right as I did!

Well done everyone, and some proper nasty questions there @Mi-Amigo 

[Cleoriff]

Haha I forgot the blowhole  for Q6 😂

and who knew about Higgs? Pfffttt! 😖

Well done @Mi-Amigo you caught us all out with the Spinning Jenny.

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @RafaC @gmarkj @Cleoriff 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards - especially with the "nasty" question.

As to Higgs and his "spinning jenny", another unsung hero we are never taught about; and Arkwright, like Hoover, Singer, and others, gets the credit for something he did not invent.
