Thank you for your comments @gmarkj and @Cleoriff .
Whilst looking through some of my old books over the weekend, I came across a couple of facts, which I used to come up with a couple of questions in this quiz. I don`t think these are hard or difficult but, as you both said, might need thinking about.
Good luck both of you, and everyone else who wants to have a go at the quiz, I look forward to the pm with your answers later.
