  1. Nice quiz, John. I got 9/10, failing to get the correct answer to #1, but in my defence, had you spelled the word correctly I would have got it. By omitting one of the esses you changed the literal meaning from ‘boss-ship’ to ‘boss hat’ 🙂

  2. Got 9 out of ten mostly by luck and some help with Google although a few I really did know. I just love these kinds of quizzes, so please keep them coming if you do not mind. Happy to see you are back on good old Virily…
