Can anyone help please?

1) What is the only country in the world where you cannot be born?

2) What was the logo that appeared on the black cars of the Lotus F1 team in the 70s?

3) Which is the odd one out - sheep, goats, geese or seagulls?

4) What centred on Hilborough in 1994? (I think this is Hilborough in Norfolk)

1) Not certain about this but I believe The Vatican City is regardedf as a country and if so, of course, you couldn't be born there.

2. I think it was the gold laurel leaves logo of their sponsor JPS

3. Is goats as a group of goats is a herd whilst the others are a flock of sheep, flock of seagulls and same for geese.

2. Re this on the front of the car they had the letters JPS in gold whilst on the back I thought they had the laurel leaves in gold.

[Jenny 18] A group of geese is generally a gaggle (on the ground) or a skein (when flying).

Sheep is the only one that is the same word in both the

sinngular and plural form.

Scopies

Yes I know it is generally a gaggle but in my list of collective names it also gives flock for geese as well. I only went on the info I had. Sorry

Not sure why you cannot be born in the Vatican City. Maybe you can't plan to be but your mother could unexpectedly go into labour whilst watching the pope on his balcony....

Good one atoach.

Going back to the Vatican, almost all of its 921 citizens live within the city walls... although Wikipedia does state that some of these are nuns so they could obviously give birth there (who's the daddy!!)... perhaps the question presupposes that the citizens are all male and/or priests?
