Question 9: (Hunchman801 can't answer) What everyday unit of measurement is the inverse of the hertz (Hz)?

[Hunchman801]

Why do I have to skip the easiest questions?

[Steo]

Electricity? (Assuming I even understand the question properly )

[PluMGMK]

It's not electricity. Basically, I'm asking, "hertz is a synonym for 'per ___' – fill in the blank".

[Steo]

Ah, then I would say second, since as far as I know it means cycles per second and measures frequency.

[PluMGMK]

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?

[Hunchman801]

The web, of course!

[PluMGMK]

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.
EDIT: Looks like this was actually my 31000th post, and I didn't even notice!

Question 12: What non-James-Bond Ian Fleming novel was later adapted into a musical film with screenplay by Roald Dahl and Ken Hughes?

[Matyuv]

Nice to see I'm still in the lead!

[PluMGMK]

Do you have any idea for the current question?

[The Jonster]

charlie and the Chocolate Factory????

[PluMGMK]

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…

[The Jonster]

That's the only thing I know about Roald Dahl unfortunately.

[lumgum]

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

[PluMGMK]

Yay!

Question 13: What is the actual first name of the current Prime Minister of the UK?

[Hunchman801]

Well, I didn't have the answer before, but I looked it up and now I do, at least.

[lumgum]

I know he actually has a pretty long name, but I can’t remember what the first name is. Alexander?
