Question 9: (Hunchman801 can't answer) What everyday unit of measurement is the inverse of the hertz (Hz)?
 
Electricity? (Assuming I even understand the question properly :P)
 
It's not electricity. Basically, I'm asking, "hertz is a synonym for 'per ___' – fill in the blank".
 
Ah, then I would say second, since as far as I know it means cycles per second and measures frequency.
 
Yep, a hertz is an inverse second. Funnily enough, a becquerel is also an inverse second, but with different nuance.

Question 10: What is Tim Berners-Lee famous for inventing?
 
Yes, and not the internet, as the Parent's Council in my secondary school decided to maintain when they organized a table quiz all those years ago. :tssk:
EDIT: Looks like this was actually my 31000th post, and I didn't even notice! :paranormal:

Question 12: What non-James-Bond Ian Fleming novel was later adapted into a musical film with screenplay by Roald Dahl and Ken Hughes?
 
Nope, Roald Dahl wrote that novel. I'm asking for one where he wrote the screenplay.

Well, here's a hint, Dick Van Dyke was in it…
 
Yay! :D
