I have absolutely no idea how to answer the following, so any help from anyone would be appreciated.
1. Up until 1891 it was one point; for the next two years it was two points, and from 1893 it was three points until it changed to four points in 1971. Fifteen years ago it increased to five points. What is it?
2. 'Where no birds sing' was one of the working titles for which popular British television programme.
3. From the air the campus of which English university is said to have the appearance of a sitting cat?
4. Revealed in the early 1990's what was the name of the 'fifth man' in the group that also included men with the cryptonyms Stanley, Homer, Hicks and Johnson?
5. Which 9 letter word meaning to trick, deceive or perplex somebody had its origins in the navy when it meant to fool the enemy by hoisting false colours, a common practice of pirates.
Many Thanks.

No.58 Bamboozle
No. 60 John Cairncross
No.63 Sussex
No. 66 Coronation Street.
I am also stuck on Nos. 5, 46 and 47 so if you can help me with these I will be delighted.
P.S. This quiz in aid of the Warwickshire and Northampton Air Ambulance is one of the best I have ever come across and I am really enjoying it.
It is certainly helping to keep my brain ticing over!!!

Hi guyfawkes! I'm like a dog with a bone on this quiz...it's brilliant. For No.5, I've got ABBA, for No. 4y I've got TANGO, but I haven't a clue about No. 46. It could be another plea to the Answer Bank again! For number 94, it's a Try in Rugby, Pea Pod gave me the correct answer, see above.I'm still struggling with a number, so you may well see me popping up here again soon Good Luck!
Many thanks smouse. I only have one question left, I've tried the site, I've tried the Arts site...it's an artist question, it's driving me potty. Folfs have been wonderful with tjhe other questions, but I'm just getting nowhere with this one. My eyes have gone square searching sites, to no avail. I might have to throw in the towel on this one.
