Q1 has a correction here, changing it to '40 D T in D':

^^^ I was thinking that too, Calibax.

Some quiz setters do 'recycle' old questions from other quizzes (where 'recycle' is a loose synonym for 'plagiarise') without considering the possibility of the answer having changed over time. So it's certainly possible that your suggestion might be the answer which the setter is seeking.

^ Yes, a common problem when questions are sourced from old quiz books, especially sporting records like who has the most caps, scored the most points/goals etc. when the printed answer has long been superseded.

Thanks all for your help especially with the setter's correction I had missed.
