    Thank you.

    If you decided to travel due south from Detroit, Michigan, USA, which would be the next country you encounter?

    The word 'chewed' contains within itself two pronouns, 'he' and 'we'.

    A common six-letter word, a noun, contains five different pronouns, each showing up as a solid word in its spelling.

    What at is it?

    I know this one, but I wouldn't say the word is common. I'll leave it at that.

    Agreed, probably more commonly used as a verb, but not rare; why not give your answer?

    a) I'd rather let other people have a chance.

    b) I haven't got a next question ready.

    If you don't know this from another quiz or aren't looking it up, I doubt anyone will get it.












    Except Cologne.

    O.K. What am I talking about ? They were invented by a civil engineer who later built the Mersey Tunnel. First patented in 1890 and officially used in Nottingham the following year.

    No, sorry. A clue: They were first tested in Stanley Park in 1890. After the first official use in Nottingham the Birmingham Evening Post declared that the results were inconclusive. The first person to use them to good effect was a certain Fred Geary.

    No, not floodlights - though you may be moving in the right direction.
