3. What is the Australian slang term given to the last sheep of a group to be shorn?

Answer: Cobbler

 The origin of this is a late 19th Century pun referring to a cobbler's last - a model for shaping or repairing shoes or boots. Arfanarf is a Cockney term meaning precisely how it sounds - half and half, a gongoozler is an idle bystander, while lollygag means to fool around.

Answer: Christopher Robin

 The only son of Alan Alexander Milne (1882-1956), from his marriage in 1913 to Dorothy Daphne de Selincourt, was Christopher Robin (1920-96). Milne bequeathed the original handwritten manuscripts of his 'Pooh' stories to the library at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he studied as a young man.

6. The name of which island group in the Atlantic ocean is named after the wild, ferocious dogs which inhabited them in Roman times?

Answer: Canary Islands

 King Juba II of Mauretania (25BC-25AD) sent an expedition to the islands. Finding no human life, he named them the Canary Islands after these dogs - Latin canaria means dog. The bird canary takes its name from these islands rather than the region being named from the birds.

 Anton Checkhov (1860-1904) was a Russian writer and physician. Some of his most famous works include 'Uncle Vanya', 'The Three Sisters' and 'The Cherry Orchard'.
8. Which fruit is a cross between the mandarin orange and the bitter orange, deriving its name from a port in Morocco?

Answer: Tangerine

 The port of Tangier, Morocco, first shipped tangerines to Europe in 1841. At that time the fruit were called Tangerine oranges but have since been adopted into the English language as plain tangerines.
9. Who was the founder of the religious sect The Quakers, otherwise known as the Society of Friends?

Answer: George Fox

 George Fox (1624-91) born in Leicestershire, suffered years of persecution after founding Quakerism. In 1671 he sailed to the West Indies and the American Colonies to spread the word. On his return to England in 1673 he was imprisoned, but soon released through the influence of William Penn. Upon the accession of William III to the British throne the Society of Friends gained more tolerance and was legalised. John Wesley (with his brother, Charles) founded the Methodist Church; John Knox the Presbyterian Church of Scotland and William Booth was founder of The Salvation Army.
