Nice {pun;} clever, if you ask me.
5. What does 'AC-DC' stand for (in accordance with how they came up with the name)?

Answer: Alternating current-Direct current

They are not gay, and they do not worship the devil. They got the name when they looked at a vacuum (or sewing machine, depending on which source you reference) and saw the electric port that labelled where the AC-DC converter goes (in other words, the cord to plug it in).
6. What country are the Young brothers and Bon Scott from originally?

Answer: Scotland

Although they gained their fame in Australia, they were born and raised as lads in Scotland.
7. Which member of the band is known for wearing a school boy outfit at all live shows?

Ironically, they close with a song that sounds like it should be their opener. However, I have seen this done a couple times and it is quite impressive, as they bring cannons and confetti blowers out for a very grand finale.

It was the lead single and first track on the 1995 album 'Ballbreaker'.
12. Who was depicted on the cover of 'The Razor's Edge'?
