Thought it would also be a good idea to also resurrect a short quiz I set a few years ago (I've deleted the old topic, so no use searching around the forum for the answers) since most people around then either aren't still here, or will have forgotten the answers.


1 - What connection do Ely, Bath and Winchester have with cheddar?
2 - What connects Abraham Lincoln, Nikola Tesla and Robin Hood?
3 - What have colours that cannot be seen and flavours that cannot be tasted?
4 - Which fictional characters have the phone number 2143?
5 - What failed (ie probably never worked in the first place) telegraph system used only 24 letters?
6 - Which UK company famously uses guard geese?

You got 2 and 6 correct. No 1 is half right - you'll need to expand on this.

No 5 is wrong - that did work, at least to some extent.
