We had a fantastic response to our last quiz and we thank everyone who entered. The winner was Lance Field of Lancefield. For the record, the answers were as follows:
-
Punt Road. The other photo shows the Franz Joseph Glacier, where some actual movement has been detected by scientists over the past 600 years.
-
Gordon Brown. Forest Gump is a movie.
-
The James Hirds, the Michael Tucks and the Bruce Doulls. The Owen Stanleys are a mountain range in Papua New Guinea.
-
False. Access to the My School website will not be restricted when the global internet filter shield of kryptonite is introduced. It will be one of only twelve sites still available.

British Airways' quarterly report will be delivered later today. In the event of an emergency an oxygen mask will drop from the compartment above your seat. Please fix the mask to your face and breathe normally.

False. The famous message ‘Peccavi’ was not sent by the Pope. It was sent by Lord Napier and under completely different circumstances.
-
Also false. There is no such novel as ‘Fev of The D'Urbervilles’.

Kevin Rudd. Following a number of unfortunate accidents installing the ETS, the scheme has now been dropped altogether.
-
Mr Justice Media. In sentencing Ms Nixon he said an example needed to be set. ‘Having dinner is one of the most serious crimes imaginable. To have a hairdo as well is beyond belief. You will be taken from here to another place, where you will be flayed with bad photographs and big print.’
-

False. Malcolm Turnbull did not retire. He was shifting his car.
-
False. The Eagles have plenty of talented players and began the season playing quite well. They just couldn’t string it all together. Westphalia is a state in what is now modern Germany.

Jumps racing. The EU is an arrangement whereby the European economies are linked. There have been casualties, certainly, and the recent incident in which ‘Zorba’s Unwell’, ‘Lisbon Calling’, ‘Erin Go Broke’, ‘Goodnight Iceland’ and ‘Shortly Madrid’ were euthanased behind a screen in the back straight, may have given the public the wrong impression. It’s perfectly safe and the punters love it.

True. On the figures currently available it is safer to sail solo around the world for 6 months than to read a newspaper for 25 minutes while under constant surveillance in a maximum security prison.
