Q30: Which stuntman/magician became famous with his act "Above the Below" in September 2003?
DAVID BLAINE
David Blaine spent 44 days and 44 nights entering September 5, 2003 and emerging October 19, 2003 inside a clear plastic 7ft x 7ft x 3ft box hanging by a crane 450 feet (135 meters) above the Thames River in London near Tower Bridge. He only had diapers, a journal, some pens, lip balm, a pillow and a pad to lie on with him- no food just a tube for water and a tube for urinating.

Q58: Which town was the home-town of Saddam Hussein, as well as that of several other leaders of his Ba'ath Party?
I believe the Big Fella is from Tikrit originally. [This question contains a huge hint for number 17!]
Great quiz, Harish. It's a tough discipline to ration myself to one answer at a time.
