Depends on whether you are going to change the rules halfway through.
Are you looking for the fact that he was travelling from France with his mistress and her mother, that he re-entered the crash to rescue his manuscript of "Our Mutual Friend" or the coincidence that he died five years later to the day?

How many corgis does The Queen have and what are their names?
The Queen currently owns five corgis and four dorgis, a corgi-dachshund crossbreed.
The corgis are called Emma, Linnet, Monty, Holly and Willow. The dorgis are called Cider, Berry, Candy and Vulcan
point:
-
The Queen's dogs?
Correct.
And the loose connection with sausages is that the first four are Corgis whilst the second list of three are "Dorgis" a cross between a Corgi and a Dachshund (a crossbreed that HM is said to particularly fond of)
Of BM's list Monty is a corgi that once belonged to the Late Queen Mother and HM took over along with two others that have subsequently died.

The problem with the Quiz Machine, as stated right at the beginning, is that all answers are available on the internet.

A work related one (for me)... How many cats eyes in a mile?
-
Giz a clue ~ how long are the cats? confused:
-
On a dual c'way, lane lines are 2m stripe, 7m gap (7 & 2's). Usually a stud (industry name for a cats eye) is at every other gap (18m c/c), unless the area is prone to fog in which case it is every gap (9m c/c). Edge studs follow the same pattern as lane studs. Green studs at slip road entrance/exit are at 3m c/c.
Single c'ways can have 7 & 2's, 6 & 3's, 4 & 2's or 3 & 6's (according to whether the road is a hazard or not, eg bends, junctions). Studs are normally placed in every other gap. If a solid or double solid white centre line is used, spacing is either 2m c/c or 1m c/c.
Studs should not be used when there is street lighting (except for on motorways).

On a more serious note blue lights (often "cat's eye" type) are used to show the edges of taxiways on airfields.
