5. As far as I can see in the table, there are 2 letters which don't appear, worth 8 and 10 at Scrabble

2 is in the city where one of the cathedrals wasn't completed till 1980. one of the listed buildings houses an art gallery with another branch in Cornwall

[ros09]

well there is nothing like the answers being more cryptic than the questions. there are 4 tates, 2 in london, 1 in st ives and 1 in liverpool. the liverpool cathedrals were finished in 1978 and 1967. so kit cannot be there.

3. could be solar flares, but there are also classifications C and X, so maybe not

5. Presumably Famous5 is referring to J and Q. I suspect the answer you need is J, as there was a Q in Ununquadium (UUQ), which is now renamed as Flerovium (Fl)

Surely there are more Grade One listed buildings in London than anywhere else? 160 according to the official list I found! Or is that too simple?

If you define quite narrowly "largest group of Grade 1 listed" I suppose it might be this..

Sorry to have misled you with the date, don't know where 1980 came from!
The version of the periodic table I looked at didn't mention renaming of elements, but Salty's info could come in handy at a pub quiz sometime
