4. In April 1992, which British magazine was forced to close after 150 years in business?

Answer: Punch

"Punch" published its last issue on April 8, 1992, after years of declining circulation. However, in early 1996, businessman Mohammed Al-Fayed bought the rights to the name, and "Punch" was relaunched later that year. However, the magazine never became profitable in its new incarnation, and at the end of May 2002, it was announced that "Punch" would once more cease publication. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punch_%28magazine%29).

5. Which Major League Baseball team won the 1992 World Series?

7. On August 7, 1992, which British palace opened to the public for the first time?

The money raised through visitors' entry fees to Buckingham Palace was originally used toward the rebuilding of Windsor Castle after the fire that destroyed many of its state rooms in November 1992. Contrary to popular belief, Buckingham Palace is not the private property of Queen Elizabeth II; both Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace as well as their art collections belong to the nation. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckingham_Palace)

Answer: The Internet Society
