A few for you, Sue.

2.What year were the Terracotta Army discovered?
3.What is the currency of Vietnam?
4.Who was the first athlete to run a mile in under four minutes?
5. In which Shakespeare play does Viola appear?
Morning Sue, not so many today but everyday is a school day. Take care all Kitty.
I just looked it up and technically Helios is correct as he was the original sun god, but during the Hellenistic Period, the worship of Apollo became more prominent, leading to him absorbing Helios' role as the sun god. (According to Google at least) Give yourself the point!
Great questions! I think I know 3 of them. Maputo is the capital of Mozambique (I have just learned all the African capitals as I am on a quest to learn all the capitals of the world. My favourite is Burkino Faso's capital name).The currency of Vietnam is the Dong. The Terra Cotta Army was discovered while I was still in High School as I recall learning about it, I think I was a junior that year so it must be around 1974, maybe 1975. I cannot recall the name of the first athlete to run the 4 min mile, but pretty sure he was one of yours. I have very little Shakespeare knowledge (but I am working on it!) so I do not know but I will guess maybe Merchant of Venice maybe? Thanks for the questions! I am loving them!
The Terracotta Army was discovered in 1974. My hubby and I saw them on a trip to China for our Ruby Anniversary…… an impressive sight! Roger Bannister (English athlete) broke the four minute mile and Viola was the main character in Twelfth Night. x

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, sorry I am a day late, had a very, very busy weekend, I love reading the Trivia questions and getting a few of them correct, but when you see the answers you think oh yes that is right, or oh I didn't know that, so please keep them coming as it stretches the 'old grey cells' as my Mum. used to say ha ha.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
3 and four wrong thanks Debs
Hi Deb, I just saw your questions, but unfortunately, my computer loads the comments from the bottom up on my phone so I saw the answers before the questions! I knew : 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, and 10. I had just seen the question about JK Rowling's pen name yesterday when looking up something on Google about Harry Potter (I kind of went down a rabbit hole!) I would have guessed a reddish brown on no. 7 and my other half is a huge James Bond fan and he told me that one years ago, otherwise I would have guessed Sean Connery. Those were great questions! Thank you for taking the time to put them on the blog! And most importantly, I learned something new too! Now I am curious how many of the Maldives islands are actually inhabited so down another rabbit hole I go! LOL
