AnswersAnswers
  1. It's number 2. We have elongated the other three ourselves.
  2. They spent two and a half hours pottering about. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin spent a total of 21 hours on the Moon, including a seven-hour rest.
  3. It was the loan from China. The student asked about the thoughts of President Barack Obama. But the translator mistakenly said "Mr Clinton" instead of "Mr Obama". And Mrs Clinton was aghast: "You want me to tell you what my husband thinks? My husband is not the Secretary of State, I am."
  4. The 30-game fifth set - which Federer eventually won 16-14 - set the record for the most games played in a set in a singles final. The match itself lasted four hours and 16 minutes - about half an hour shorter than 2007's epic final.
  5. It's Norbert Bischofberger, inventor of Tamiflu, the antiviral medication to treat swine flu. He's made millions, but says he's motivated by science. Meanwhile, Mr Gates received the Indira Gandhi National Award for Peace. And Harry Patch, the last British survivor of the WWI trenches, died in July.
  6. It's "ugly" - at the start of July 20-year-old EU rules on the size, shape and appearance of fruit and veg were relaxed, returning bendy cucumbers and forked carrots to shop shelves.
  7. He ordered apple pie and perry jelly, eaten on the seaside terrace of fellow celebrity chef Mark Hix's restaurant in Dorset. And he bookended the meal with a champagne cocktail and several cigarettes.
  8. It's the Scouts advised not to carry penknives. The guidance, published in Scouting magazine, follows confusion over laws on carrying a knife in public. The renaming of Spotted Dick at Flintshire Council HQ was branded "political correctness gone mad".
  9. He's blind in his left eye due to a detached retina. Mr Brown, in New York for the United Nations General Assembly, insisted: "My sight is not at all deteriorating."
  10. It's "Tingle" - all were names of candidates in the Norwich North by-election in July. Howling is Alan "Howling Laud" Hope of the Official Monster Raving Loony Party, who ran against Lib Dem April Pond, UKIP's Glenn Tingle and the Green Party's Rupert Read.
  11. The date should be on the HEADS side since a redesign last year - older coins have the date on the tails side.
  12. It's number 2 - G,G,G,G,A,A,A,G,E,G,E. Number 1 is the opening of another Australian folk classic, Waltzing Matilda, and number 3 is the start of Bobby Shafto.
