P.S. Where did that category come from? 
Oh god, me neither.. I literally NEVER watch films. Watching one is just a time waste imo  
dont worry guys, it should be much easier
although every time i think that people do worse...

I dont get the first question  I dont know what venue is, you mean how many sporting events were held outside of London?
Edit:Nevermind, i answered it how i got it, probably totally wrong
Very tough round but i am confident maybe at five questions...

you had the right idea though

10 answers in so far
and the cheer everyone up Baseball wasnt perfect 
and i've had an idea to enourage new people to join in
every 5 rounds the scores will be reset to 0, so every 5 rounds its a level playing field
i will still keep a full length gc and update it every 5 rounds for you as well
i am also keeping track of how people do in each catagory area (eg PCM, Sport etc.) so now you can only enter certain rounds and still win something
keep those answers coming

I almost got the question five right, as i read about that in newspaper some week ago, but i did not remember it right and said 38 or 39...
Also i should get the lame answer of the round award,as i answered Not Tirunesh Dibaba and she was the winner, i mixed it somehow, i was sure she did not win.

not good enough, i wanted a name
granted that was still impressive to know, many people got that far
but it would have been unfair on those who did get the name
sorry

I had that one right! Though it was pretty lucky with that guess as I read it a few days ago in a summary of the Olympics (I missed a lot of events due to work, including the Jamaican we, and in one passage it said that it was the 32nd world record broken during the games...)
Yet I got question 1 and 10 wrong. On q1 I forgot to count in Newcastle. And for 10 I assumed it was something in archery since it was the first I had seen (the Italy_USA final)
