    See if you can ace this without searching the Net or other sources except your brain.

    1) How long did the Hundred Years War last?

    2) Which country makes Panama hats?

    3) From which animal do we get catgut?

    4) In which month do Russians celebrate the October Revolution?

    5) What is a camel's hair brush made of?

    6) The Canary Islands in the Pacific are named after what
    animal?

    7) What was King George VI's first name?

    8) What color is a purple finch?

    9) Where are Chinese gooseberries from?

    <b>boomboom</b>: My mistake! I did mis-indicate the instructions I had intended. My fault; you do not have to stay in at recess....
