    Since there's no current question I'll post one:

    What exactly does third country duty mean in the context of importing goods into the EU?

    I would guess it's the duty imposed when importing from one of the so-called EU third countries (i.e. countries with which the EU maintains relations but which are not member states).

    i would guess you're right!
    I don't really know and have been trying to find out. This was a cynical manipulation of the general knowledge thread to my own ends, and for that i apologise.
    As I understand it, it is the import tax applicable on countries that do not qualify for duty free trading (some devloping ones do). I don't think trading between eu states is taxed either. So that would explain why it is called "third" country duty --which was what was causing my confusion.
    Nice one!--you get 100 bonus points for knowing more than the quizmaster and qualify to spin the wheel for the big banana.

    How was Timothy Leary able to fool his captors into believing he would not try to escape when he was imprisoned in America. (Their complacency allowed him to escape).

    When Leary arrived in prison, he was issued psychological tests that were used to assign inmates appropriate work detail. Having designed many of the tests himself, Leary answered them in such a way that he seemed a very conforming and conventional person with a great interest in forestry and gardening.As a result, Leary was assigned as a gardener where it was made easier for him to make his escape.
