Hi Liz, Let's see, I don't know when ABBA won the Eurovision but it had to be in the 70"s sometime so I will guess 1975? I think Zara is Charles' niece. April 1st would make you an Aries (the first sign of the zodiac) I have counted the states along the border in my head and I count 13, but not sure if I missed any. I do not know Michael J. Fox' middle name, maybe it is like Harry S Truman and it doesn't stand for anything?

Particraft said...

Hi Deb, I only knew Copernicus and Nepal today out of your questions. I will have to go look up Antonine Wall as I have never heard of that before. Thanks, great questions!

Liz said...

Hi Sue, just a year out with ABBA, it was 1974. You were correct with the next three answers. Michael J Fox's middle name is Andrew, the J doesn't actually stand for anything.
