4. What type of meat-based food are kielbasa, boerewors and saveloy?

Answer: Sausages

Kielbasa is a Polish sausage, and comes in varieties such as kabanos (which is thin, dried and flavoured with caraway seeds) and krakowska (a spicy smoked sausage from Krakow). Boerewors ('farmer's sausage') is from South Africa, and its main ingredient is beef, though it often contains lamb and / or pork as well. Saveloy is a reddish-coloured pork sausage often sold in British fish-and-chip shops, and sometimes battered.

5. Which chocolate bar appeared in fiction (in a Roald Dahl novel) before it did in fact?

Answer: Wonka bar

Wonka bars first appeared in the 1964 novel "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", and came to exist as a real life brand in 1971 to tie with the movie "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" starring Gene Wilder. It was bought by Nestlé in 1988, and was re-launched in 2005 to tie in with the Tim Burton movie of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". Whether or not the real life version matches up to its fictional counterpart as the "perfect candy bar" is a matter of opinion!

Question by player Flamis
6. What stereoscopic toy was introduced at the 1939 World's Fair?

Answer: View-Master

10. With which collectible item is the company of Stanley Gibbons most associated?

Answer: Stamps

Founded in 1856 by Edward Stanley Gibbons, the company is one of the world's foremost dealers in stamps and other philatelic items. Their first catalogue was issued in November 1865 and today their range of catalogues are used as a standard reference guide by philatelic societies around the world. An interesting fact is that Edward Stanley Gibbons was born in 1840, the same year in which the Penny Black, the world's first adhesive postage stamp, was issued.
