Welcome everyone to the live quiz

Format

Each morning for 5 days, I will post 2 rounds of 10 questions. Your team will have until 9am the following day to submit the answers. 
Please submit all answers together, double check them as you will not be allowed to change them.
In case of a tie at the top after day 5, I have prepared a tie breaker round.
 
Rules

Obviously you are not permitted to research the answers, that means no checking books, online, or asking your friends. You can only confer with your teammates.
Once your answers have been submitted, you can research, though it might be more fun to leave the mystery for the reveal.
Please don't post any answers in this thread or discuss what answers you submitted, let's leave this all for the reveal.
If you have a query about any question or answer, please pm and I will disuss it on thread if neccessary.
