You’re too kind! These are my fave types of quizzes but I do get frustrated when I can’t answer them 
Let’s see…
And the answers:
= 1 = 40 = 31 = 4 (
=1 
= 1 
= 1 
=1) = 12 (
= 2 
= 6)
Omg number 5… 
I kept coming back to the pigs being 2 but I don’t know what happened!
Pleased with my anagrams though… Cosmopolitan looks so obvious now!
Thanks @Ian_Chimp - enjoyed that one 
Sorry, only just seen the answers are up
I enjoyed that quiz too, relieved my maths is right and since you didn’t specifically say the anagrams had to be one word answers I’m giving myself the points for A HORSE PEN and U DEMON BRUTE and hence full marks to me despite calling you a demon brute!

Welcome to this Wednesday’s Great Hump Day Quiz! All newcomers are most welcome Check out the rules, pop your answers in a post, and I’ll add you to the Scoreboard. 
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.
So, there you go. It’s a bit random, but it should add to the fun.

Stating now… I will be lodging a steward’s enquiry into 5!
Having now googled in depth my answer is correct which is good as none of my other Sprot answers are!
The day is getting away from me. I will add the answers shortly.
I have added the answers to the quiz post
And, barring any more steward’s enquiries, I do declare the winner of this week’s Hump Day Quiz to be… 
Congratulations!
Congratulations @WillC ! Well deserved. Have a slice of cake for your victory 
Sorry for being a pain @Ian_Chimp - Thank you for setting the quiz, I really do appreciate it!
Congratulations @WillC!! Very well deserved 
I did atrociously as expected, but seeing the answer to 3 made me laugh I hope he’s been allowed back now…
It’s no worries. I think it’s all part of the fun. And getting you all to check the answers you don’t think are right is much easier than me doing them one by one.
Thanks everyone, i thought it was particularly hard this week and didn’t expect to win. Also, i have no problem with questioning the answers if there’s doubt, the Trivial Pursuit question setters aren’t infallible!

Anyone fancy another cheeky weekender? It is movies again, but we’re getting through the tin quite nicely, so there can’t be that many left…
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.
These questions are once again from the movie quiz I found in the Boxing Day bargain bin.
