1. Name an island named after an animal or an island that has an animal in its name

Bull Island
Anguilla
Beaver Island
Tasmania

I made a mistake with this question not meaning to add the "or an island that has an animal in its name" part as I was hoping that someone would say 'Tasmania' which is not named after an animal but is named after the explorer, Abel Tasman, the first European to discover it. Oh well...



2. Name a national leader that was assassinated in the 20th century


Franz was never a 'national leader' but died as heir to the throne.

Franz Ferdinand
Anwar Sadat
Olaf Palme x 2


3. Name a country that has won the Eurovision Song Contest between the years 2004-2014 (inclusive)

Greece x 2
Ukraine
Serbia


4. Name one of Ireland's Gaelic Games

Handball x 2
Rounders x 2

I love it when no one gives the most obvious answer(s)



5. Name a stout brewed in Ireland


Beamish x 2
Oyster Stout (Porter House)
Buried At Sea (Galway Bay Brewery)


6. Name a car manufacturer from South Korea


Kia x 2
Daewoo
Tata Daewoo

Tata Daewoo doesn't actually manufacture cars but instead produces trucks for the commercial market.


7. Name a tribe of Native American Indians

Comanche
Guarani
Navajo
Potawatomi


Guarani was the only answer submitted which referred to a tribe not from the USA. A correct answer from either modern-day Canada or central/south America was acceptable to me.

8. Name a type of dry pasta

Fusilli
Lasagne sheets
Tortellini
Strozzapreti

No need to specific 'sheets' as lasagne refers to the pasta as well as the dish.


9. Name a current male European monarch.

Albert of Monaco x 2
King Harald V x 2

No love for the Pope!



10. Name a war fought by the State of Israel


Six Day war x 2
Sinai War x 2


With about 7 to choose from it's interesting that only 2 unique answers were given.



So thanks to the 4 who entered and to SpatialPlanning for winning !

I knew who you meant so gave you the points anyhow

Oh yeah! What's Strozzapreti?

I don't think I've seen them much in Ireland. It's a long pasta which tastes slightly 'doughy'.

I heard that the name means "strangle the priest", because the poor people would get so annoyed by greedy priests eating all their food, they would wish that they might choke on it. Not sure about this! :D
