Quiztime

 

Okay... I have received the hint from quizzical visitors like Arkansas Kelly and Harpenden Frances. The day has arrived for another "Quiztime"! I can already hear the whoops of  excitement from clamouring contestants but what will be the theme this time? Actually, there is no theme today. It is a random, pot luck general knowledge quiz. As usual, the answers will be given in the comments section. Good luck!
