    1) How long did the Hundred Years War last?
    1337 to 1453, 116 years.

    2) Which country makes Panama hats?
    Ecuador.

    3) From which animal do we get catgut?
    Couldn't tell you, I'll have to cheat a little... sheep, it's made from sheep.

    4) In which month do Russians celebrate the October Revolution?
    November. November 7th, exactly. You have to remember that prior to 1918 the Russians used the Julian calendar, which is 13 off of the Gregorian (our calendar), thus pushing October 25th to November 7th.

    5) What is a camel's hair brush made of?
    I almost think it's squirrel, but don't quote me on that.

    6) The Canary Islands in the Pacific are named after what animal?
    Canines.

    7) What was King George VI's first name?
    Albert.

    8) What colour is a purple finch?

    I'll need to cheat on this one too... New Zealand.
