I'll need to stretch my brain for Q3+4 !!

[Mi-Amigo]

Morning @Cleoriff 

As I said, there is no QI-style question this time but I admit Q3 is not one of the easiest questions...

Good luck.

I look forward to pm with your eight answers any time after 12 noon today.

While you're figuring out Q3, this'll keep the toes tapping:

Earworms, wonderful things 

[Cleoriff]

Figured it out thanks

[Mi-Amigo]

Thanks @pgn for your post

btw my mistake

Q3 should have read:

NOT "rhinosaurus"
