I'm confident on 4 too DD. Wonder if they are the same ones. One is an incredibly tortured guess that if I get right I will eat, not just my hat, but my whole wardrobe.

nope 3 of them are true and false question, so you really only got 50% chance of getting it wrong, anderson 500 question is easy considering it was a recent achievment, the WI question and the day night test should be an easy answer as well.
only really 2,3, 7,9 are tricky.

I, on the other hand, am both grateful and intellectually stimulated by the offerings in this first round.

Cheers Andy.
