I waited for Ros to get away before I posted this as she would find it far too easy. It is probably the easiest one ever posted here.
1) How long did the Hundred Years' War last? 116 years, correct the WOLF un point
2) Which country makes Panama hats? Ecuador, correct the WOLF un point
3) From which animal do we get cat gut? Sheep OR horses in fact, but I will give it to REGG3Y, un point
4) In which month do Russians celebrate the October Revolution? November indeed, there was a queue to get to the celebration in October, perhaps, so the WOLF un point
5) What is a camel's hair brush made of? no correct answer yet, according to my inside information
6) The Canary Islands in the Pacific are named after what animal? Dogs, obviously the WOLF would get that, un point
7) What was King George VI's first name? Yes, Albert, correct again WOLF, but I will not deduct a point for making your very knowledgeable answer sound as if it was Q V who died in 1952, although I was tempted as no-one likes a smart-ass ;D
8) What colour is a purple finch? I have Crimson as my answer, but the WOLF was close with Red and brown so I will not upset him further
9) Where are Chinese gooseberries from? Correct Regg3y
10) What is the colour of the black box in a commercial airplane? Yet another un point to the WOLF
My superb maths now tells me that I must award the following to Clive's Quazza points table:
WOLF 7, REGG3Y 2 with just one more for you to research
So, come on Clive, you should now award points in French (a la eurovision) AND colour code the correct answers for clarity. I know you are glad to have me back ;D

I have the answer "squirrel fur" and will stick with that, so 1 for petem on the old scoreboard. Thank you to all you smart-arses for participating. (But I used the word "smart-ass" Jon, as I am not as crude as others). I actually prefer neat/pert arses don't you?
