2. Who was the inventor of the C.D. (compact disc)?

4. Which British company, which is most famous for producing stock cubes, sponsored Scott on his voyage across the Antarctic?

Answer: Oxo

Oxo's posters to support Scott had to be revoked, because they originally featured a polar bear. As polar bears do not live in the Antarctic, they had to change the animals on the posters to penguins.

10. Corfu is a Greek island, but what country is it geographically closest to?
