THE ANSWERS:

Q1 INITIALS In measuring intelligence, what does the letter Q stand for in IQ ?

A2 quotient

Q2 MAPS On an Ordnance Survey map, what does a dotted line indicate ?

A2 pathway - according to the old quiz book from which I took the question

but some pms mentioned a dotted line indicates a boundary and a dashed line indicates footpath

On checking various sources, there seems to be some confusion; so, in the circumstances, I`ll take

either footpath or boundary as correct answer and award a for either answer

Q3 FLAGS What colour is the cross on the flag of Sweden ?

A3 yellow

Q4 CARS Which car manufacturer produced the Avensis from 1997 to 2018

and the Corolla from 2018 to present day ?

A4 Toyota

Q5 NURSERY RHYMES In the nursery rhyme, where does the Muffin Man live ?

A4 Drury Lane

Q6 CODES ATL is the international airport code for which city ?

A6 Atlanta

Q7 MOTORWAYS Clacket Lane Service are on which UK motorway ?

A7 M25

Q8 ADVERTS What was the name of the brand of beer which comedian Peter Kay advertised on TV

between 2002 and 2005 ?

A8 John Smith`s Bitter
