Charity Quiz Questions

[chris6080]

Stuck on a few questions that seem rather obscure...
1. What would you find starting A, T, G, C, L etc?
2. What and where are A, D, F, A, T and L?
3. Where did T and D get 9 times 6?
4. Margo and Jerry (the Good Life) wagered what?
5. Connect Goodhew and Scarf

Can anyone help?

Thanks

1. The DNA nucleobase pairs are adenine+thymine and guanine+cytosine, but it's just those four. I wouldn't have bothered mentioning it if the A, T, G, C had been in a different order, but all the web pages say the pairs in that order.

Last question of Charity Quiz
Desert is 8th, 10th or 11th of world surface?
Googled this and said a third so is this question incorrect do you think?

[bert_h]

// Desert is 8th, 10th or 11th of world surface? //

Right, it's about a third of it if you include the polar (icy) deserts, but otherwise it's about an eighth. The total land surface is about 57.5 million square miles, and adding up the sandy desert areas (on Wikipedia) gets to about 7.3 million square miles.

Notice that the question states WORLD'S surface, not LAND surface.
