Mexicans speak Spanish (supposedly without the lisp). 25 sounds like Berlusconi, though only detail I've been able to find about his Sardinia villa says entrance is underground rather than underwater - need an Italian mole to confirm.

Q13a - Spanish

Q17 - (d) 700 ml, (a) 652 ml, (b) 546 ml, (c) 388 ml

Q25 Sir Cliff Richard

What do you have for Q1 (not sure I fully understand the question), Q26b and Q30? Now starting to doubt my answer to Q12 - I thought it was (d), but having second thoughts.

jno

gw1, I'm sticking with Berlusconi's villa for Q25: see: http://politics.guardian.co.uk/labour/comment/0,9236,1272307,00.html

also, for Barcelona to Rome, see: http://www.travelnotes.org/Europe/Distances/Rome.htm

I used http://www.indo.com/cgi-bin/dist/place1=@174076/place2=@173733 (879 km - 546 miles) at http://www.indo.com/distance. But I've looked at http://www.travelnotes.org/Europe/Distances/Rome.htm (1,415 km) and I see your point. Now more bewildered than ever!!!

gw1

I accept your point on Silvio Berlusconi.

jno

ah yes, I see yours is as the crow flies, my crow is driving a car. The question doesn't specify which we should use, road, rail, air etc (I think there was some debate about this a few days back), and Barcelona/Rome is one route where it makes a big difference.

Thanks for Berlusconi. Q17 -I am still not convinced on mode of transport.Where is there reference to distances from Aberdeen to Penzance (as crow flies)

maccal

For distances between cities, this site may be helpful

For Aberdeen to Penzance I used the AA (http://www.theaa.com/travelwatch/planner_main.jsp).

Q17: I used AA and Viamichelin and came up with BADC. But I don't think this is scientific and the only really meaningful answer can be via great circle (aka flying distance aka lat/long : see www.wcrl.ars.usda.gov/cec/java.lat-long.htm) It comes out ABDC using this method and I'm sticking with that I think.

Check out this article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/10/11/umway.xml for distance between Aberdeen and Penzance - might be where they got it from. I get b, a, d, c using that distance and freedomtour.com.
