💙 Geography
  1. St. Helen’s when it erupted?
  2. Strait of Gibraltar
  3. :woman_shrugging:t2: Athens?
  4. The Tigres?
  5. Edinburgh
💗 Entertainment
  1. “What does Oscar stand on?” - Is that really the question? Well, Oscar the Grouch stands on… or sits in a bin. Oscar Pistorius stands up in court (though his story does not). Oscar Wilde, well I’m not too sure what he stands on but he stood up for homosexuality and was treated abysmally. The Oscar statue stands on a little round base… possibly a film real… Do any of those get a point?
  2. Not a clue
  3. Romeo and Juliet
  4. Don’t think I know any of those songs!
  5. Nope… I’ll say Puff but I suspect it’s a different dragon
💛 History
  1. :woman_shrugging:t2:
  2. I know they were white and smooth, chalk doesn’t seem right but I can’t think of anything else.
  3. Submarine?
  4. Here mainly 16th century I think… so Italy… earlier… 15th Century?
  5. Wake you up… QI told me this!
💩 Art and Literature
  1. The Nautilus
  2. Roger Hargreaves
  3. Where are you going?
  4. :woman_shrugging:t2: Peter and the Wolf? …probably not.
  5. Where the scene is? So the front of the stage?
💚 Science and Nature
  1. Scurvy
  2. The Corona
  3. Sure I should know this… was it something to do with Rolls Royce or do they just make them now?
  4. Retractable claws without Leo in it’s Latin name… something Marvel got right… the Wolverine?
  5. 180° - that seems too easy!
🧡 Sprot and Leisure
  1. An albatross is 3 under par so presumably any golf hole that’s par 4 or more? That doesn’t really fit “only” does it!
  2. No idea… Trick question? Once?
  3. :woman_shrugging:t2:
  4. The North Pole?
  5. Pooh Sticks! :smile: - Fun with my Dad as a kid and then taken very seriously in Oxford later :rofl:

Actually, there may be a small score change for :yellow_heart:2 as the card says ‘marble’, but the internet says ‘polished limestone’. I’ll amend the scores. :+1:

Congratulations @MsSubExperimenter ! :clap::clap::clap:

Thank you for all the quizzes this year @Ian_Chimp - I’ve really enjoyed them and hooray for all who take part.

P.S. I think, as one who gained from it, that you’re being generous with my answer for :yellow_heart:2 … I knew they were white and smooth but I think if they’d actually been covered in chalk as I guessed it would probably have weathered away before being recorded! :rofl: I do agree with the Internet though, not marble.

Can I have a ½ instead? I think I like ½s

It’s a type of limestone but they probably used a rather more robust one!
