    I have a picture of a woman's hip-length coat with large turned-back cuffs apparently popular in the 1950s. This style of coat shares its name with the colloquial name of a type of hat. What is the name of this coat?

    One type really has no name, but etymologists consider that people were too busy enjoying it that the name it has now derives from requiring a top-up. Another type is not available during summer months. A third type goes hand in hand with a popular drink and as urban legend has it, it must replicate a celestial body. What are they, and what are they known as in Britain and Australia?

    As most biologists know, there are three readily known types of muscle fibre - Type I, Type IIA, and Type IIB - but what are Type IIC and Type IIX?

    My ALcoholiC Words quiz has nothing to do with drinking. Sorry, folks! An AlcoholiC Word is a word that (like ALCOHOLIC) begins with one letter and ends with the one that comes 2 after it in the alphabet. A-C, or F-H for example.
