AnswersAnswers
  1. It was Russell Brand, in Booky Wook 2. The angel he refers to is Kate Moss. There were 50 hardbacks hitting bookshops on "Super Thursday", timed to cash in on the pre-Christmas sales.
  2. It's the hand and depths line - an extract from the Biblical Psalm 95, verse 4. The second phrase is the opening line of the national anthem, which was sung when the 33rd miner was rescued.
  3. It was blue. Topshop boss Sir Philip Green found the government could save billions of pounds a year if it improved "shocking" spending processes, while ex-BP chief Lord Browne's review of university funding in England recommended scrapping the current £3,290 a year limit on fees. There was no Blue Report.
  4. It's the humpback whale, which took two years to travel from Brazil to Madagascar, to find a mate. It's the longest distance recorded for any mammal. Rooney's form continues to be a concern to his supporters, after England's 0-0 draw with Montenegro, while nearly 200 quangos were culled.
  5. The seeds were the only food for millions of Chinese people during the regime of Chairman Mao, said artist Ai Weiwei.
  6. It's second. The four UK nations won 51 golds, still 23 gold medals behind Australia.
  7. It's bacon. The figures, released to mark World Statistics Day, also revealed the "average" British man is 38 and woman is 40.
