PM me your answers in an unnumbered list with no blank lines between answers.
No penalty for wrong answers, so you might as well guess on ones you don't know.
Last names only are acceptable unless otherwise specified in the question.
My policy going forward will be to not PM you if you're missing an answer, so please double check. What I do is copy and paste the question list into the PM, type my answers underneath, then delete the question part.
I will use my best judgment in all matters.
PM me or post in this thread if you have questions.
--------------------
1. In what country was the Mau Mau uprising?
2. Which NBA team plays its home games in the Ford Center?
3. Who wrote the short story Rappaccini's Daughter?
4. Whose epitaph reads:
Good friend, for Jesus' sake forbear, To dig the dust enclosed here. Blest be the man that spares these stones, And cursed be he that moves my bones.
5. Which European capital was formerly called Christiania?
6. What is the scientific name of the tear glands?
7. What is the guitarist Slash's real name?
8. Which country's flag has more colors than any other?
9. Who obtained the first US patent for condensed milk?
10. In The Lord of the Rings series of books, what is the name of Gandalf's horse?

Too hard huh...
I actually think they're quite hard, but POG continues to surprise me. Hope I didn't overcompensate here.

If nothing else, most people will learn something from the quiz I suppose.

I'm now starting to doubt some of my answers. Would be very (very) surprised to do well in this.

in.
completely blank on one, a guess on another and hoping for a kind mod on a third.
all in all, a good quiz IMO.

Sorry derwipok...maybe you'll have better luck with the next game.
I hope it's not too much of a spoiler to say some people have done very well with these questions.

If four were likely to be a decent score, I'd enter.

Reason: plus one decent guess, and one I may be able to work out.

Very tough questions. Although, as a wonderful coincidence, earlier today I was researching countries' and cities' previous names, AND I read some guy's website scoring flags out of 100 for various things, including colours.
Doesn't mean I'm scoring more than 2 though.
