    answers to some, but I did know none of the obvious ones were the right ones - assume nothing!

    7) What was King George VI's first name?

    I once found a quiz book where one of the questions was what Caesar's first name was. The answer,
    according to the book, was 'Julius'.

    Apparently someone had spotted an obvious 'error' during editing:-)
