September Quiz Results - Who scooped prizes?

It's October... October already... the year is flying by - it's going bat crazy fast. Thank you to everyone who entered last months quiz. It was a tricky one this time around - maybe a bit too tricky? Let us know in the comments if so.

But - did you win? That's what you're here for right. Lets demystify things for you. The overall winner of the quiz was... Lucas Flick! Well done to you sir. You will receive a Season 5 CD, a pair of Nice Peter sunglasses and a signed lyric sheet.

Each month we also reward a free t-shirt to one lucky person just for taking part in the quiz - even if you get all the answers wrong! [drumroll] This month that special patron is... 'Neo!  Knife Through Butter' [We will be in touch with you soon, to sort your prize]

Below are all the correct answers to all the questions...

1) Which fact about Queen Victoria was NOT true? A: She refused to wear black at funeral engagements [After the death of Prince Albert she entered a deep depression, and stayed in seclusion for many years, rarely appearing in public. She mourned him by wearing black for the remaining years of her life. Although she herself was buried in a white dress]

2) Which fact about Leif Erikson was NOT true? A: His famous shield inscription read "Fear Me. Not Odin" [There was no such inscription. Leif actually converted to Christianity - so did not worship the Norse gods like Odin]

3) Which fact about Albert Einstein was NOT true? A: His son Eduard won a Nobel Prize for his work in eugenics. [His son actually suffered from schizophrenia and was institutionalised in an asylum for a large part of his life]

4) Which fact about astronaut Buzz Aldrin is NOT true? A:  He played a xylophone on the moon. [He did hold religious communion and drink wine / break bread which Nasa kept fairly secret at the time for fear of upsetting other religions. He also did urinate on the moon - but his urine collection device broke, so he supposedly had pee sloshing around in his suit]

5) Which fact about Bob Dylan is NOT true? A: He served three months in the Vietnam War as a photographer. [He didn't actual serve in the war at all even though he was about the perfect age for conscription at the time. However, he has wrote many anti-war and protest songs throughout his career]

6) Who is the odd one out - Sean Connery, Richard Harris, Graham Chapman or Dudley Moore? A: Dudley Moore. All of the others portrayed 'King Arthur' in films, whilst Dudley Moore was best known for the comedy film 'Arthur' (unrelated to King Arthur) for which he received an Oscar nomination.

7) Who is the odd one out - John Wayne, Pol Pot, Jimi Hendrix or Charles Lindbergh? A: Jimi Hendrix. He was 27 years old when he died and is therefore part of the much discussed '27 Club' - people who died at age 27. The other three all died aged 72.

8) Who is the odd one out - Eddie Murphy, Tom Hanks, Charlie Chaplin or Seth MacFarlane? A: Charlie Chaplin. He was best known as an actor in silent films so had to portray characters, feelings and situations without using his voice. Whilst the other three have all had big roles providing voice overs in TV & Film e.g. Shrek, Toy Story and Family Guy - only their voice mattered in those roles.

9) Who is the odd one out - Elton John, Mick Jagger, David Hasselhoff or Patrick Stewart? A: David Hasselhoff. All the others have received a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth so can prefix their names with 'Sir'. Whilst the closest Hasselhoff has got to becoming a knight was his lead role in the 80's television show 'Knightrider'.

10) Who is the odd one out - Glenn Close, Irving Berlin, Bob Hope or David Rockefeller? A: Glenn Close. The other three all lived til they were 100+ years old. Whilst the closest Glenn Close has got to that number is portraying Cruella de Vil in the film '101 Dalmatians'.
