not sure, there have been many, however Michaelangelo is not the correct answer, as he painted a fresco, and was over 60 when it finished.

Michelangelo is the actually the correct answer as it was his first ever painting so your turn to set the question

Nope the original star trek by gene Roddenberry the answer was
The shows first pilot, "The Cage", starred Jeffrey Hunter as Enterprise Captain Christopher Pike, The network did not like the cast so refused to commission a series and instead asked for another pilot and Jeffrey Hunter was replaced by William Shatner and the rest is history as they say.
So next question keeping on the themes of TV and film
Who is the "Most Portrayed Character In Films as well as TV"

It could be any one of a thousand personages, including Hitler, Satan, the Virgin Mary, Donald Duck, Dracula, but seeing it's this time of the year, I'd say Santa Claus/Father Christmas?
By the way, re the 'Star Trek' question, wasn't yon guy from 'Quantum Leap' in it as well, Scott Balusha, or something?

Right, here you are for Question # 28 -
I am known locally as “Pražský orloj “ and I am the third-oldest in the world, and the oldest one still working.
People come from all over (the world) to see the "The Walk of the Apostles" every hour, on the hour, and I am a few years older than the Gros Horloge in Rouen.
What and Where am I?
YL.

Looks like we had a lack of internet connection as I was about to post the answer at 9.07pm........................ and so, the answer to Q # 28 is.... The astronomical clock in the Staromestske namesti, Praha (Old Town Square, Prague). www.prague.net/gallery/astronomical-clock/pic6.php Incidently, there is an English pub, “The Big Ben” under the one in Rouen, in France. When I was there last, it was selling Worthingtons(?), and/or that beer in a 'red barrel' if I remember correctly. ...and so, to Q # 29 - This airport, in the old 'Eastern Bloc' is the only one there named in honour of, & after, a Pope. Where is it and who is the Pope it is named after?I suppose that with the breakdown, the answer deadline to this is timed for brekkie, approx 09:00 hours - ? YL.

Post by yenilira on Dec 13, 2011 12:12:10 GMT 1
Yes, it's been a bit of a bind this lack of connection.
The answer to Q.#29 is -
Kraków Airport im. Jana Paw³a II - John Paul II International Airport Kraków-Balice in Poland. since 4 September 2007 . (nearest airport to Auschwitz) John Paul II lived and worked in Kraków before he became Pope. Born Wadowice, 50km away.
(This is at present where the England squad will fly into for the Euro 2012).
[There are two other airports named after Pope John Paul II– Bari, in Italy, and Ponta Degada, Portugal].
Fingers on the keyboard for Q # 30:
The “Caffe Quadri” is situated in one of Europe's famous squares, this city being a destination or stopping-off point of one of, if not the, most famous rail journeys in Europe. Where am I having a cappucino whilst listening to their 5-piece orchestra?
YL.

Post by yenilira on Dec 13, 2011 14:44:37 GMT 1
Part of the answer is correct, Rob - Venice - but the question intimated where in that city?
A. = The Piazza San Marco, Venezia (Venice).
The name of the cafe comes dates from the late 1700s when Giorgio Quadri, of Corfu, came to Venice.
~ ~ ~
And to your 'question' (# 31)
I'd hazard a guess looking at the name and say it's something to do with the Wild West - 'Gunfight at the OK Corral' days - a saloon?
Kansas City, Dodge, Little Rock?
