I'm compiling a few familiar quizzes for the family at Christmas, probably entirely unoriginal. I've copied the first below a) so that others may be able to use it b) to prompt a few more suggestions in similar vein please. (In case it isn't quite long enough to send everyone to sleep.) Either more of this same 'number' type, or some similarly lightweight stuff...
