Help needed in compiling a quiz

[Rain Man4500]

Happy New Year to you all. I'm doing a quiz for a school PTA event shortly and, in addition to reading out questions, I want to give the punters a written quiz to complete as the evening rolls on. I'm doing this with 12 questions - Q1 has one answer, Q2 has two etc up to Q12 having 12. Sort of thing I've asked for are, 4 stations on standard Monopoly Board, 7 Deadly sins so you know what I'm on about. Any ideas for suitable list type questions for 8, 9 or 10? Thanks in advance.

Bewlay, I suspected from your ascreen name that you were a Bowie fan (Hunky Dory - top LP!!!) - sadly I don't think my gang will share your passion : )

I've just found a potential winner in the 'quest for 9' - name the 9 golf courses currently on the rotation for the Open Championship. Whata d'ya reckon?

Here's the full list...

2. Sean Connery has returned to the role of James Bond in 2 films - name them.
3. Liverpool have won the UEFA Cup 3 times � name the 3 teams they beat in those finals.
4. Name the 4 stations on the standard British Monopoly board
5. In the classic children�s show Thunderbirds, Jeff Tracy�s 5 sons piloted the craft � what were their first names?
6. Robert Vaughn is the last surviving actor who played a member of The Magnificent Seven in the original movie � name the actors who played the other six members.
7. Name the 7 Deadly Sins
8. Major world leaders meet every year at the G8 Summit � name the 8 countries that make up that group of 8.
9. There are currently 9 courses on the rota to host the Open Championship � 2 are local. Name all 9.

How about naming Queen Victoria's nine children? (I can't but I'm sure Google has the answer.)

Sorry, Rain Man, your final list wasn't here when I started typing my answer.

Question 1 and 3 are too similar.

If you know 1 you will know 3 and if you don't know 1 you won't know 3!!!!

I know neither.

[Bewlay Bros]

For 3 if you want to stick with sport maybe go for the first three positions at the front of a rugby union scrum

Prop (loose head)
Prop (tight head)
Hooker

1 and 3 are similar to strike a balance between the blues and reds among the audience while maintaining the red superiority to annoy the headmaster (an avid Everton fan).

ABBA had nine number 1 hits

Waterloo
Mamma Mia
Fernando
Dancing Queen
Knowing Me, Knowing You
The Name OF The Game
Take A Chance On Me
The Winner Takes It All
Super Trouper

8 reindeer .. or maybe 9? Debatable, so maybe best avoided. Original reindeer were Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Dunder and Blixem. (Dunder was later changed to Donder and � in other works � Donner, and Blixem was later changed to Blitzen.)
However, since Rudolf the red nosed one was invented, many sources would consider that there are 9 reindeer serving Santa

Duckshoot - I like your ABBA 9 better than my golf courses.

Thanks to everyone for their help!!!

Cheers

seven deadly sins - be prepared for variations on individual ones. Saturday's Guardian crossword had this theme, and I got hooked on greed, when they were using covetousness!

ps did you know that the Tracy boys in Thunderbirds were named after the original Apollo astronauts? I just love trivia!
