Some of you said before the reveal that I must have had fun reading some of the answers... that was most definitely true for this question
By far and away, this was the question with the greatest diversity of answers. At the low end of the scale, the smallest individual number guessed was 25,000, and at the high-end, it was a whopping 1.5 billion, which incredibly was guessed by two separate people
The correct answer, as of last night, is 7,322,686, which was an in-memoriam Tweet for the late actor, Chadwick Boseman

Just like Q9, I’m afraid I can’t accept either, as I did need both answers to be perfect anagrams of one another. Really sorry about that, but I did say spelling was important

Made sure to quadruple check that I needed to add that extra "S" before submitting though... I'd hate to have left that one out...

I first heard it on QI, don't know if it ever appeared in HoG

Don't know where.

I was baffled by the number of people who submitted 1884 in quick succession, until I realised that was the year the GAA was founded. That, it turns out, was a good guess, as the correct answer was 1885, which one person managed to get spot-on. Anyone who answered within 4 years will receive points also
It should be noted, however, that while most of the answers were suitably old, ranging from 1800 to 1927, one person answered with 1993, which was either a typo or someone who really doesn’t watch Gaelic Football
