As you know i don’t usually do these, but having a theme lured me in! 
1- Black Beauty
2- On the Road ( not sure at all…)
3-The Green Mile (Stephen King)
4- No idea
5-20 Leagues Under the Sea (Jules Verne)
6- Alice in Wonderland ( Lewis Carroll)
7- The Wind in the Willows ( don’t even ask about the logic I used here 
)
8- Watership Down
9-Fifty Shades of Grey (EL James)
10-The Golden Compass (?)
Same as @WillC, the theme encouraged me to take part this time 
Hmm, good to know - people like themes other than “Well Known Phrases”.
Well I appreciate you both having a go (and doing well). Have a chocolate bar each for your efforts.
I’ve surprised myself if they are right @Peitho

3 green mile
4 cat in a hat
5 20000 leagues under the sea
6 Alice in wonderland

70% (which is a University first class degree mark) @Craig1234 . An excellent result 
.
And between all of you 100%, though no individual 100% which is perfect from my point of view as means there’s no 1 individual really hard one.
1. Black Beauty
2. Cross Over The Road?
3. The Green Mile
4. Cat In The Hat
5. 20 Leagues Under The Sea
6. Alice In Wonderland
7. The Wind In The Willows

Little late to the party for this one, but here are mine:
Apologies - I meant to publish the answers on Sunday but it completely slipped my mind! 
and The Golden Compass when published in the US - my bad!)Thanks to everyone who had a go, it entertains me creating these so I really appreciate you giving them a bash.
The undisputed winner with 100% correct is @MsSubExperimenter 
No points but a bonus banana 
for @Ian_Chimp for News Round for number 10 because I liked that answer.
I could kick myself at Golden Compass and On The Road! I thought it was but couldn’t
link an X in a circle to it! 
I was going with “X marks the spot”, I did try a little person and curvy arrow but they seemed even more indicative of a specific something on the road so I just went with an X.
Wow, thank you @Peitho! On The Road was a guess so definitely happy with that!
Thank you for doing it!

Welcome to the Great Hump Day Quiz!
We’re always trying to add more people to our quiz gang, so check out how to hide your answers, pop them in a post, and I’ll add you to the Scoreboard.
We also have an answer template you can copy and paste now too.
I found a mysterious old box of trivial pursuit, with even more trivial pursuits stuffed inside. It is a treasure trove of quiz questions, and all of them really old. Perfect fodder for a Hump Day special.
Piecing together a few bits and bobs, there were three sets, and a couple of the instructions. One is a Genus Edition, dated 2001, and the other the 20th Anniversary one, 2004. There’s also another old style board and questions in there that looks/smells quite a bit older. That’s the box they’re all stuffed in, and that has ©1983 printed on it. No instructions, so not sure if that’s accurate. That one says it’s a Master Game Genus Edition.
(Edit: Now with an added sprinkling of more recent questions too )
So, there you go. It’s a bit random, but it should add to the fun.
