[Adam]

Same rules. One answer per customer. Try to be honest and supply your answer without simply looking it up somewhere. Rely on your own knowledge.

6) (Gautama) Buddha

Kramer&Sprenger : I don't remember the name of this book - it's Latin, I think, but I know which subject it discusses. I read about it in one of Poe's stories...

Well done. Especially on the Belarus. I wouldn't expect many people outside of mainland Europe to get that one without looking it up.

[Gokul43201]

I was going to say that that question rang a "Bell", but I wasn't certain, so I shut up.

10) The Black Hand assassinated Franz Ferdinand. What do you know, it rhymes! :biggrin:

[PRodQuanta]

9)Belarus! HA! I know one of these! I also knew the bottom quark, but was late on the draw.

Iron Age should have began first in China IIRC.

Bottom is a quark.

9) Which country shares borders with all of: Russian Federation, Poland, Ukraine, Latvia, and Lithuania?

Belarus

Gosh darnit. On further review, I found out that The Bob answered before I did! I am yet to get one of these first!

I hope you feel good The Bob, I hope you feel good.... :mad:

Cheers. Athough I dislike Geography I do like to know the capitals and location of the countries around the world. As the UK is a part of Europe it is my best. :smile:

Paden Roder :smile:

Well I do feel good because I felt the same as you. I thought someone would have answered it before me but they didn't so I thought I would get my first answer right.

Sorry Paden Roder. :redface: :biggrin: Friends??? *The Bob offers his hand to shake*

Okay, all good so far except the Iron Age thing.

[Gokul43201]

This is my second shot.

Q7) I believe this a book about "witches" and/or the trials. If I'm right, it has some Latin name that I don't recall. There's a reference to it in one of Poe's stories. Since you (Adam) now own the entire collection of Poe's works, you will/have come across it somewhere there.

[Adam]

Like fudge. I've barely started on the Poe stuff.
