1. What type of fruit is a Cox's Orange Pippin?

Answer: Apple

Cox's Orange Pippins were first grown by Richard Cox in Colnbrook, England around 1825. Considered by many to be the best-flavoured of the dessert apples, the cox used to be the biggest selling variety in the U.K.

3. Which type of spider is generally thought of as Australian, but can also be found in Africa, Asia, Europe and North America?

Answer: Huntsman

Huntsman spiders have sometimes been referred to as the Australian Tarantula, owing to the resemblance of some of the larger types. They get their name from the fact that they don't make webs but actually hunt their prey.

Answer: Dwarf

The story of Rumpelstiltskin was collected by the Brothers Grimm and first published in the 1812 edition of "Children's and Household Tales". Rumpelstiltskin was also a character in "Shrek 2" and "Shrek the Third".

5. Complete the title of H. Rider Haggard's book: "King Solomon's ____".

Answer: Mines

The book "King Solomon's Mines" was written as the result of a bet between Haggard and his brother.

7. A 1980 film starring Angela Lansbury was called "The ___ Crack'd". What is the missing title word?
