Cheers, I never knew that.

No one has got them all right yet (nor did I, needless to say).

But as Loz hasn't posted yet I'll hold off on the answers.

In case you're wondering here's the number of correct answers for each attempt:

Midlandblue - 8

Bluenut - 8

Gullit4 - stole someone else's ideas

Moos - 7

Murdoch8 - 8

Bluebeard - 7

Maksimov - 9

Hmm...I think I know (now) which one I got wrong.
