Congratulations @MsSubExperimenter (…and commiserations @SexInTheCity for the last minute snatching of victory! 
)
Thanks @Ian_Chimp… though having now looked up 3, I think @SexInTheCity and myself and the question cards need a point docked and @MsSubExperimenter gets an extra one. Apparently Citrus Grandis is a Pomelo and Citrus Paradisi is a Grapefruit .
(Also, you spelt Jupiter wrong! )
…but Thank you, Thank you! …and I really appreciate it!!!

I can still see your answers.
If you use the edit pencil at the bottom of the message you can go back in and cut and paste your answers to above the [/details] bit, and that should tuck them away.
