I liked the way, you had to think laterally to get some of the answers. I agree that Quest 5 Q6 was the most difficult. Even once I found the answer, it was never referenced in Wikipedia, like nearly every other topic in the Quests. I only found the answer, by searching for part of the question a week after initially trying the quest. Someone had posted the question on the Internet by then in a desperate attempt to solve it and someone else had supplied the answer. Perhaps this demonstrates the power of the Internet, ie how it constantly evolves and increases in information. However I feel I "cheated" on this one, as I didn't find the answer the same way as the other questions. Even now I know the answer, searching for it finds only 2 small references - Edinburgh Tattoo and the BBC's web pages. One observation - Quest 7 Q1 contains an error. Humphrey Jones is referred to as Henry Jones - a deliberate attempt to confuse?? ;) And Wikipedia never mentions the film in question, although this is recommended as a reference. However great fun - sorry it is finished. And it increased my store of trivia! Thanks. Hi Antonio,

You can definitely find it without paying - check the hint if you get stuck (their website is a little fiddly in this respect to be honest). Good luck! Antonio Hi Susie,

Thanks for the comment. You can definitely find it without paying – check the hint if you get stuck (their website is a little fiddly in this respect to be honest).

Sigh. Perhaps you could phrase the questions so that if you can't see the video (due to being outside the UK), you can still participate? dang, I was doing fine (I’m an ex-pat) until I got to a question where you HAD to watch the video piece to know what he was talking about.
