Okay, to spell it out - the clue is 'UK', what does this stand for? But in the meantime, a 'proper' question: You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?

I should give up a hint since the rest of the question is essentially a history one not a logic one: they call it the 'UK' now, not England. I wonder why... EDIT: By the way, is the forum time messed up for anyone else? For me it says 9.17 am when it's 4.05 pm (and it's set to Australian EST in my settings?)

You're on the right track, but it's not quite the right answer!

Yes, something similar It's a great answer, but it's not right

A man of many words WINNER!! Since 1066, the year of the Norman Conquest, exactly how many kings have been crowned in England?

That's not a Transformer, it's one of the new abuse-resistant traffic wardens they're trialling.

Yes! WINNER!! In the same year, they are of course 51 weeks apart. Happy Birthday!! Lots of tram questions for you this week then.... Like: Do you actually have to pay on the trams? (aka how to spot a Sydneysider in Melbourne) lol !! Here we go A group of soldiers were standing in the blistering sun facing due west. Their sergeant shouted at them: RIGHT TURN! ABOUT TURN! LEFT TURN! In which direction are the soldiers now facing?

Happy Birthday!!

WINNER!! Everybody knows that both Christmas day and New Year's day fall on the same day of the week. However, in 1939, the year of the outbreak of World War II, Christmas fell on a Monday, and New Year's fell on a Sunday. Why?

Not 12.

WINNER!! Apologies for leaving you with such a crap question. How many times do the hour and minute hand cross each other in a twelve hour period? (Start at 12:00 noon and count that as once).

Cool!! You even got the Panerai to head size exactly accurate! lol !

WINNER!! But trench rafters were the #2 reason! Okay - it's almost the weekend, and I may only have to work two days of it, so I'm feeling generous How many of each species did Moses take onto the ark with him?

They are odd (there's no link in them or website address). I can only assume that one in a hundred thousand people reply to their emails and the deception starts from there. I *still* get people telling me in a hushed voice that they got this offer from Nigeria and what should they do...

Two minutes? How am I supposed to dash off inside two minutes?! WINNER!! When World War I started many of the fighting men wore cloth caps. As the high number of head injuries became apparent metal helmets quickly replaced cloth caps. Ironically, after issuing metal helmets the number of head injuries rose even higher. Since the fighting intensity remained constant, how can this strange phenomenon be explained?

Yes I am!! hu12 is already in the winners club lounge sipping his champagne! lol !

Science? Can't he slow down after he reaches the harbour and before he docks? Cut the engine? I expect better sea legs from the Pugwash! Big winner with the cigars!! The tallow obtained by burning ten candles will yield one extra candle. If you burned 1000 candles, how many extra candles could you make?

I think....... ......You're sailing!! WINNER!! I make it 35 hours though, is that right? Yes it's knots per hour, so nautical miles per hour per hour. If it was just knots Ken would be right. Here's one from the cards again: Sam purchased two cigars which, together, cost $1.10. One cigar cost one dollar more than the other. What were the individual prices of the two cigars?

I'm gonna regret deviating from the cards aren't I?! Your answer isn't right, but the hidden part of the question is there in your answer. This is a bit tougher than the other questions have been.

WINNER!! This isn't from the cards. It's men and boys time It's roughly 612.5 nautical miles from Sydney harbour to Hobart in Tasmania. Sam jumps in his boat, which starts from rest, and proceeds at 1 knot per hour to Hobart. How long does it take?

PARTICIPANT RIBBON!! Ever the optimist! Yes, he survives off ice. Okay, a bit of a crap one to leave you with: What do the following pairs of letters represent? RD ST ND

Interesting! But I think that would probably classify as "bringing water along".

I like trifle, but I'm not sure I'd want to live there....

I hear that Greenock Prison only turned up to play Pumpherstone because they heard that the captain was a chick. How disappointing for them....
