MORE OR LESS UNCHANGING RUBRIC: welcome for the yada yada year running to the LJ wing of a quiz** sat by by some lucky schoolkids*** somewhere and etc blah blah: viz 18 themed sets of 10 questions each -- a new one every (more or less) day!!

*= latin for: "real actual knowledge is knowin how to google**** stuff" <-- THIS JOKE NEVER GETS OLD
**as published every year in the guardian just before xmas (answers some time in the new year)
***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 (or this used to happen in the Olden Days, for all I know Ofsted now requires they have to bellow GOVE IS GREAT in unison and then recite whole eps of the Moral Maze from memory)
****the setters used to claim they've checked nothing is INSTANTLY googleable, tho this claim seems quite porous...

1. In the year 1913:

i: ~~what famous club was founded at Vrigstraat 20~~?
ii: where, innovatively, were both events made bipartite?
iii: ~~where did the Emperor of India lose his uncle to a single gunshot~~?
iv: ~~which authority on tubes was elected to the presidency at Burlington House~~?
v: ~~who established the relation between an element's X-ray frequency and its atomic number~~?
vi: ~~the celebration of the arrival of which migrant parasite took place for the first time in a Saxon city~~?
vii: ~~after increasing problems in EC4, whose grand vernal display moved to SW3~~?
viii: ~~which boy was born and would compose a nominal reminder 20 years later~~?
ix: ~~who served which country as president for less than one hour~~?
x: ~~what might perhaps have anticipated Tom and Jerry~~?

This is much easier these days than it used to be pre-internet! A couple of questions have pleasing variant answers, so I've included both.

i: is PSV Eindhoven, give or take typo, spotted by

boyofbadgers and

katstevens
iii: is Thessaloniki, where George I of Greece was assassinated, known (except for the venue) by twitter-user petrajane
iv: is Sir William Crookes, known by twitter-user petrajane and team :)
v: is Henry Moseley, known by twitter-user petrajane and team
vi: tho i did get an off-board suggestion concerning cheese-mites (is Abigail reading, to expand on this?), I suspect

friedslice is correct: the migrating parasites are cuckoos, and this refs the first performance, in Leipzig, of Frederick Delius's On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring
vii: is the Chelsea Flower Show, known immediately by

boyofbadgers
viii: is Benjamin Britten, who would go on to compose A Boy Is Born, looked up by

dubdobdee
ix: is Pedro Lascuráin, looked up by

jauntyalan
x: is almost certainly George Herriman's Krazy Kat (feat.Ignatz), as looked up by

friedslice, but

marnameow's suggestion that it's the Prisoners (Temporary Discharge for Ill Health) Act 1913 (also known as the " Cat and Mouse Act") is inspired (suffragettes on hunger strike were released when they became to ill, to be re-arrested when plumped up a little)

the rules, such as they are:
a: nice full answers (inc.anecdotes!) if/where poss
b: plz to say whether googled or no, and always leave reasonable time for non-googlers to get their guesses in (ie at least till next question goes up)
c: obviously you can look ahead at future questions if you want (ie elsewhere on internet) since how can we stop you?
d: plz to not bring in confirming and/or dissenting answers from other fora until next question is up and running
