Answer: In your pocket

A vade-mecum, being Latin for go with me, is a handbook or pocket companion.

2. If you were standing in a building and suddenly heard a 'vagitus' sound, where do you think is the most obvious place you would be?

Answer: Hospital

A vagitus is the cry of a new born child, which translates from the Latin word vagire, meaning squall, (quite appropriate).

Answer: Acne

Varus is the Latin and medical name for acne.

Answer: In a lake

A vendace is a small fresh water fish. The word comes from the Old French word vendese.

Answer: Game

Vint is a Russian card game, as well as to make wine...so we played vint and drank it too.

6. As a former medical student (well not really) - there is a small, quite insignificant, but important bone in your head called a 'vomer'. Where exactly is it though?

Answer: Nose

Your vomer is the tiny bone that seperates your nostrils. The word comes from the Latin which actually means ploughshare.

Vives is actually an ear disease in horses.

Answer: Eggs

Vitellin is a protein found inside egg yolk. Vitellus is the yolk of an egg. Although this could have been a trick question if you knew me, as I invariably buy way too much beer every time I go to the shops anyhow.

10. A slightly different type of question now. Which of the following is NOT a definition of the word 'victoria'?

Answer: A woman's fur tippet (or cape)

The woman's fur tippet (or cape) is actually called a victorine...sorry if that was a little tricky but I ran out of V words.
