Quiz time

 

It is time to get your quiz on. I have selected a number of questions from the internet and thought I'd challenge you to answer them. I have not chosen any questions that I couldn't answer without looking up the answer, so there will be nothing too esoteric.

Why do this? Well, why not? Perhaps you can challenge family and friends or perhaps the questions will come up in some other quiz you might partake in, like a pub quiz. And no, you don't win anything for getting the answers right. Knowledge is its own reward and all that.

1. What was Eleanor Roosevelt's maiden name?

3. Under which nickname was Edward Teach better known as?
