Thank you @Cleoriff and @MI5 for your comments.

I tried to give a mix of questions - without any being QI-style - to test the "little grey cells" this time.

Good luck.

Look forward to pm with your eight answers any time after 12 noon.

Just to clarify Q8

Q8 [GAMES - 2] How many balls are on the table at the start of a game of pool ?

refers to English Pool - as defined by the English Pool Association - with the balls in a triangle at the start of the game; and NOT American 9-ball pool.

Apologies for any confusion the question may have caused.
