    I got question 10 right! and that was about it.
    90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.

    4 right.

    3) From which animal do we get catgut?
    I thought it was just sheep, but close enough. (I play the violin)

    4) In which month do Russians celebrate the October Revolution?
    I knew this one (I'm from the former USSR)

    9) Where are Chinese gooseberries from?
    Knew this one (living in NZ, of course)

    10) What is the color of the black box in a commercial airplane?
    Know this one (being a pilot).


    Think I lucked out on this one

    Damn, you got #9 wrong as well. Chinese gooseberries do come from China, New Zealand imported some plants, and developed Kiwifruit. Same thing only better and with a different name.
