Stuck on the last few:
2011 was one of the busiest years ever for movie sequels. Which film ends with a character discovering someone he feared dead “is alive”, thus opening the way for another sequel?
As of March, there were 602 skyscrapers over 200m tall across the world, an increase from 258 in 2000. Which continent, with 342 skyscrapers, has the most?
Whose cookbook, published in 2011, contains this wholesome snapshot of domestic life: “Around the time my son turned three and a half, we started having early family dinners all together and it quickly became one of the best parts of my life. The meal, acting as a way to bring us all together and hear each other out, is the highlight of my day. I never could have anticipated the genuinely interesting and hilarious insights that would come out of the mouths of the kids, or just the general feeling of closeness”?
Thanks in advance for any help/pointers
Happy Christmas one and all

"There were 602 buildings higher than 200m around the world as of 1 March 2011. There were only 258 in the year 2000, and 146 in 1990.
There are now 342 skyscrapers in Asia, and despite being home to 10% of the world's population, Europe is a laggard, with only 3.7% (22) of the world's tallest buildings."
