Help needed in compiling a quiz

[Rain Man4500]

Happy New Year to you all. I'm doing a quiz for a school PTA event shortly and, in addition to reading out questions, I want to give the punters a written quiz to complete as the evening rolls on. I'm doing this with 12 questions - Q1 has one answer, Q2 has two etc up to Q12 having 12. Sort of thing I've asked for are, 4 stations on standard Monopoly Board, 7 Deadly sins so you know what I'm on about. Any ideas for suitable list type questions for 8, 9 or 10? Thanks in advance.

I like the G8 and Decathlon suggestions.

Given the target audience I'm not sure about the Fellowship of the ring for 9 although I'm grateful for the suggestion.

Any other offers for 9 folks?

A really tough one but there are 10 ways in which a batsman can be out in cricket.

Bowled
LBW
Caught
Run out
Stumped
Hit wicket

Are the most common

Playing on
Hitting ball twice
Obstructing the field
Timed out

Are rarely, rarely used but still exist and occassionally every decade show up in a game.

A bit od a dodgy one what with Plutos limbo status but I think they still officially classify it as a planet but you could always use it for 8.
