6. Which sign of the zodiac is represented by a bull?

7. Read forwards this word can mean "a cessation of movement or operation", read backwards this word can refer to cooking vessels.

Answer: Stop

"A cessation of movement or operation" as in "Stop walking", or "The train came to a stop".

Pots come in various sizes and can be used for cooking anything from baked beans to beef bourguignon.

Answer: Posh

The probably false acronym relates to "Port Out, Starboard Home".

The UK and India are both in the northern hemisphere so the port (left-hand side) berths were mostly in the shade when travelling out (easterly) and the starboard ones when coming back. So the best and most expensive berths were POSH, hence the term.

Answer: Hanna

Hanna-Barbera have also given us cartoon classics such as "The Flintstones", "Scooby Doo", and "Yogi Bear".

10. What type of handbook, which is typically published annually and contains information of general interest or on a sport or pastime, was a key plot point in "Back To The Future 2"?

After receiving the almanac from his older self in 1955, Biff Tannen used it as a guide for betting, and by 1985 had become a wealthy celebrity and had built a financial corrupted empire in an alternate reality.
