The Challenge

[spursfan]

Help with the following questions please
Q111 The First World War ended on 11/11/18,hence Remembrance Day,but those numbers also play a part in the start of the Great War.In a few words can you tell us how?
Q116 They went from Belgrade to Warrington and from soaring birds to oversized humans,before going bust.Which great sporting name did they have in the middle?
Many Thanks

Hi swannbaker
Many thanks for the answer to Q116.
Could you please explain why,as I am intrigued

They were a British basketball team who went by the names of Belgrade Warrington United Eagles and Giants before folding . Nothing of course to do with the much more obscure football team .

111 Is specifically linked to the actual event that caused the start of the war - a picture would help

[spursfan]

Hi Peabrain
Thank you for the hint.
I had already tried that route(no pun intended) but could only find a link with one of the numbers,or is that sufficient?I shall carry on looking in that area
Can you offer any hints on Q117,which at the moment means nothing to me

111 - all the numbers appear

117 - is related to something in the news a lot over the last week

Hi Peabrain
Thank you for your reply and the hint for Q117.
Do you need hints for any questions,although I usually have trouble compiling "hints",or have you finished the quiz?

Glad to help Spursfan (bet you enjoyed Sunday).

We have an answer to everything but several such as 21 are unsupported guesses.

Hi Peabrain
Thank you for your reply
I am still struggling with Q111 despite your hints.I have now found an answer which fits the 11/11 part of the question,but not the 18,but it will have to do.
As for Q120 the least said the better
