Melksham Summer Quiz

[keyboardix]

1. Entertainment Section:
Which was the first Disney film where the hero died ?
2. Royalty:
Who was the last British Monarch to face forward on British currency ? (NOT in profile, and presumably on a coin, as Queen Elizabeth II faces forward on our notes).
3.Maths and Logic:
If Benjamin is 100, Abraham is 5 and George is 1, who is 50 ?
Please can anyone help - these are my last 3 from 300 questions, and I haven't a clue on the Maths and Logic one !!

50 = Ulysses (Ulysses S. Grant) I think they are the presidents on the back on those denominations of notes or are they on the front.

Hi Keyboard, Only got three questions left? mmmmmmmm

I am stuck on theDisney Film. The only thing I can come up with is Beauty and the Beast where the Beast dies and turns into a Prince?????
Also stuck on the monarch one. I will be watching this space lol Al

[keyboardix]

Honest ! I am down to 2 now - the same 2 you are stuck on, it seems, after FoxLee put me right with dollar bills (Christian names of US Presidents)
Thanks for your comment, and good luck with your entry.

Don't forget that Disney made live action films too

I'm not certain - but I think it could be Old Yeller - because the heroic dog dies at the end.

How about Davy Crockett ( Disney Film 1955 ) who was killed at the Alamo.

[Mancunian]

Or even
The Black Cauldron
Where Ellidyr goes into the cauldron and dies.

Hi Keyboard Bet you are glad you asked this question.
I am confused!
I am beginning to think Old Yeller, I think that was the first of the ones so far mentioned
I dunno, back to the cider

[ageing fast]

I've changed my mind!

Old Yeller was a 1957 film and Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier was a 1955 film. So Davy Crockett definitely died before Old Yeller. Unless there was another hero who died even earlier!

[keyboardix]

Thank you all - I never anticipated such a response. I think that I shall go with "Davy Crockett , King Of The Wild Frontier", but not literally, I hope !
