Thanks to all the participants.

The winner of Quiz 2 with an outstanding score of 27 points is *drum roll*

Paula

A special mention goes to Suzi with the witty and possibly correct answer to the following:

question (30): Irving Berlin was famous for writing what?

Answer: Postcards, I awarded 1/2 point for sheer brilliance (and he probably did write postcards)

Answer I was looking for was "songs" though accepted "musicals" as he wrote songs for musicals and was involved with musicals.

The mini car question (24) I would have said 1960's it first appeared on British roads in 1959 so the answer was 1950's.
