This is an oldie, but still fun
I do expect you all to pass this little quiz, but it makes me grin every time it gets emailed to me:1) How long did the Hundred Years' War last?
2) Which country makes Panama hats?
3) From which animal do we get cat gut?
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 colour is a purple finch?
9) Where are Chinese gooseberries from?
10) What is the colour of the black box in a commercial airplane?
Remember, you need only 3 correct answers to pass. No Googling.

I was (still am) under the impression that the Canaries in the Atlantic (of the West African coast) was named after dogs.
Also, my info also says that the hundred years war (1337 to 1453) was fought in France for control of France with Joan of Arc (1412-1431) featuring at the height of it.
Could find nothing yet to contradict it yet, only confirmation so far. Not intended to be finicky; only trying to get my database right.
