Greetings from the Isle of Jura whence the sixth (!) edition of this blogs’ annual Christmas Quiz comes to you wherever you may be cloistered this festive season. As always you can enlist Google to assist you; as always doing so seems pointless and contrary to the spirit of the occasion. But it’s up to you.
Answers will, as is traditional, be published at some as-yet-to-be-determined date. However you can email me (alexmassie-at-gmail-dot-com) or badger me on Twitter for hints and/or the complete set of answers and, internet connections and time permitting, I’ll do my relative best to help you.
1. Who are served, so to speak, by an Ulster Unionist, Carthage’s greatest foe and a Warwickshire cricketer?
2. What links a royal motto with Odysseus and Jules Verne?
3. What, collectively, are a Dulwich College alumnus, Jacob’s wife, Apollo’s grandmother, a Scottish county, a White House intern and a juvenile marsupial?
4. Virginia boasts eight and Ohio seven but California, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Connecticut only one apiece.
