    Less than a day as Prime Minister of Carpatho-Ukraine, the shortest lived country ever. He was Prime Minister for all of its existence.

    That's the answer Andy. Czech one morning, Prime minister of a new country in the afternoon and overnight and then Hungarian after lunch the following day.

    Extraordinary. I'd never heard of this before I looked it up. Thanks for that, zen. :)

    Where are you likely to find obsidian, creepers, wheat, TNT, skeletons and Steve?

    :huh: whoosh! Right over my head!

    I love your avatar by the way, Barry. I was more 'Mary, Mungo and Midge', though, I have to say. :)

    Time for wild guesses here. These countries have the highest proportion of freight transported by rail ? Not sure about Australia though.

    No - not freight/not rail. It is to do with air travel...

    Only Connect is a quiz show on BBC2 on Mondays at 8.30 - the next one is a Children in Need special. The avatar is thanks to a colleague - I'll leave it at that.
