    Not at all Beth. However I think that Nicaragua is the answer to yours (I failed to answer that question a few weeks back)

    No Beth, this was asked at a school quiz. With the El Salvador revelations coming to light I'm glad that neither of my kids went there!

    Hopefully less controversial, who is the youngest Nobel Laureate to date?

    Baby Bragg was the youngest scientist....won it with his dad just before ?before WW1...won it to do with crystal structure.....He was helping his Dad out...and got a Nobel prize with him. Pretty sure he was younger Than Madame curie


    But have no idea about the other non science disciplines...but writers are aleays older, not sure about peace

    Sir William Lawrence Bragg is the youngest to date. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1915 along with his father "for their services in the analysis of crystal structure by means of X-rays". Bragg's law makes it possible to calculate the positions of the atoms within a crystal from the way in which an X-ray beam is diffracted by the crystal lattice. Apparently.

    Marie Curie isn't even the youngest woman to win, that honour currently resides with Tawakkol Karman who jointly won the Nobel Peace prize in 2011 at the age of 32 (Mme. Curie was 36 when she won her first Nobel prize).

    Back to you Beth

    Mike Jones, of New Zealand, I believe.

    (I know a little about the sport played by men who like odd shaped balls as well!)

    So, my question is: Who was the opponent of the mighty Super Hoops, and what was the score?

    Assuming you've not missed any words out, I clearly don't understand the question.

    Balls. That's what I get for rushing....!

    Who did QPR play their first official game against, and what was the score.

    First official game? Would that be the first match after becoming QPR?

    I`ll take a guess at Spurs. Likewise the score 3-1.
