1. Word-play: My user name is Zippolover because I love zippos. A zippo is a cross between a hippo and which striped animal?

Answer: Zebra

I visit a rather irreverent board that holds a weekly picture competition. Several years ago the instructions were to mix two or more animals and that was where I found my little zippo. The maker was flattered when I asked permission to use it. I do not collect "Zippo" lighters, as some people have asked.

Answer: Paisley

Paisley is the largest town in the historic county of Renfrewshire and is the administrative centre for the Renfrewshire council area in Scotland.

6. L is the 12th letter of the Alphabet and the sixth letter of my user name. Which of the following "L" words is the odd one out?

Lions, leopards and lynxes are mammals; cats or felines to be specific. Lizards are reptiles which are cold-blooded and not mammals.

7. Opals used in jewellery are a mineral.

Answer: False

To be classed as a "mineral", there has to be a crystal structure. Opal is a form of silica which is classed as a metal and therefore not a mineral. Rather confusingly, it is called a mineraloid form as it mimics a mineral without having a crystaline structure. Opals occurs in the fissures of almost any kind of rock, but most commonly with limonite, sandstone, rhyolite, marl and basalt.

8. V is the 22nd letter in the Alphabet and the eighth letter of my user name. V is for Valerie, my name. What does Valerie mean?

Valerie is pronounced VAL-er-ee. It is of Latin origin means "strong, healthy". It is a feminine form of Valerius, a Roman family clan name and the French form of an early Christian name, Valeria.

Where I live in Norfolk my name is often mispronounced as VAL-ree.

9. E is the fifth letter of the Alphabet and ninth letter of my user name. Which of the following "E" names means star?

Answer: Estelle

Emma means universal or nurse. Emily means industrious. Erica means ever kingly and is the feminine of Eric. It is also any plant of the genus Erica EG Heather. Estelle is from the Latin and means star.

10. R is the 18th letter of the alphabet and the tenth of my user name. Which of the following "R" words is *NOT* edible
