wiki-illiam #106 (scire ubi aliquid invenire possis ea demum maxima pars eruditionis est)*

welcome once again to the LJ wing of a quiz** sat by by some lucky schoolkids*** somewhere and etc blah blah: 18 themed sets of 10 questions each -- new one each day!!

*= latin for: "real actual knowledge is knowin how to google**** stuff"
**as published every year in the guardian just before xmas
***all the boys of king williams school on the isle of man sit it sight unseen then take the paper home during holidays and look stuff up to increase their score and retake it
****the guy who sets it says he checks nothing is INSTANTLY googleable. Buck all received trends it is gettin HARDER, declare early reports. SEE WHAT YOU THINK!!

( wiki-illiam q1 under the cut )

the rules as evolved so far:
a: nice full answers (and anecdotes!) if poss
b: plz to say if googled or no, and always leave reasonable time for non-googlers to get their guesses in
c: obviously you can look ahead at future questions if you want (ie elsewhere on internet)
d: plz to not bring in confirming or dissenting answers from other fora until next set is up and running

AND APOLOGIES FOR LJ'S STUPID AD REGIME IF IT IS SPOILIN YR PARTICIPATORY ENJOYMENT!
