1 Which branch of medicine is concerned with artificial human limbs?
Prosthetics
7/13
2 What was the given name of Margaret Thatcher's husband
Denis
6/13
"Dennis" gets more hits on Google but I'm pretty sure it should only
have one n. Either spelling is acceptable in any case.
3 In which novel and film do the Oompa Loompas appear?
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory [novel] or Willy Wonka and the
Chocolate Factory [film]
11/13
Badly worded question sorry. I meant novel and/or film. I don't know
why they changed the name for the 1971 film but I don't ask trick
questions so wasn't trying to catch anyone out over that.
4 Which Peanuts character offers psychiatric advice?
Lucy [Van Pelt]
8/11
5 Who are Amy, Beth, Jo and Meg?
Little Women
11/13
6 What is the main commercial use of the whale product ambergris ?
Perfume / cosmetics
11/13
7 Who served 18 years at Robben Island prison in the 1970s and 80s?
Nelson Mandela
10/13
8 Which American actor helped establish the Sundance Film Festival in
1978?

12/13
9 Is the coffee bean actually a bean, a nut or seed?
Seed
8/13
Dan pointed out that the terms are not mutually exclusive so I'm
certainly willing to consider appeals.
10 Who was Marilyn Monroe's last husband?
Arthur Miller
9/13
Pope Pius XII was a good guess though.
