It is almost 12 noon.  I would say I am ready to send my answers but that would not be true.  Beatles, Sherlock Holmes, Enid Blyton - have heard of them all and know many of there works/stories.  But will that be good enough to answer the questions.  We'll find out soon enough. 😁

@Mi-Amigo My answers are on their way

Have not gone with a pass today and put in an answer to everything, even if it is just a random guess.

As always thanks for the effort that goes into this.
