Spot on!! The year was 1989. Some trivia According to the institute of navigation navigation museum, the first commercial GPSr was the TI 4100 NAVSTAR Navigator (1981) Of course it doesn't look anything like the GPSr's we use today, and thankfully we do not have to cache with something like it, need a backpack to carry the darn thing. Of course it only ran on the test bed of 6 satellites. Continue DBob

Texas Instruments Was the early 80's I think, 82'ish

Bother, if I was at home now could pull out a children’s book which is all about this instrument. Remembering the pics in the book, I think CnC are probably closer re the tribe, but cannot recall what it is called.

correct, dakardrix, take it away

What is a 20 sided polygon called?

Ndebele art?

On the money, take it away.

Who was the first golfer to appear on a postage stamp, and in which country?

That was so lucky. I first guessed 40 000 and then thought well the question said "to the nearest couple of thousand" so I thought maybe not so many 10s of thousands, and maybe something in-between. What are Sodium Thiopental, Pancuronium Bromide, and Potassium Chloride taken in that order? Sounds like a lethal injection when administering a death sentence.

Darn, Pooks took my number. I'm sure they are close, recall Paul Theroux's description of events in The Patagonian Express. Most workers died of disease. My lottery pick is.........mmm...... 30000 then.

Just out of interest:- Guess it is the age old question of what defines a "City". Definition varies across the world, example in Europe a general requirement is that it must have a Cathedral. Population requirements seem to vary between 5000-10000 people. In some countries it may merely be an administrative seat to qualify. Bizerte City in Tunisia is defined as a city, being the oldest city in Tunisia and the seat of local government. It's a full 2 degrees further north than Tangiers and is 13km from Ras ben Sakka which is most northern point of the African continent. Take it away Trev.

Thanks Trev Didin't think my halfbaked answer would be in with a medal I'll try Tunis

I think the submersible was the Trieste and one of the crew was Piccard. Can't recall if it was a brother or son of the person who created the vessel, something like that. Out of interest, Cpt Jean-Luc Picard of the Star Trek genre was named after one of the Piccard's

Hi can you please send me an email address for Geocaching Ranking Home Page? As I am trying to register, but the contact us page does not work.... Thank you kindly Send QFC a message

Take it away C&C

Still missing two

Alrighty, should be an easy one List Santa's reindeer, and for a bonus point, which one was only added later

mmmmm... I've only ever heard of a Herbert Saddleton as the names behind the initials HS Balls, so I'll guess she was Mrs HS Balls, i.e. Mrs Balls Chutney? I think there's a grandson or great grandson that still sells the "original" stuff at Cape Town markets as opposed to the Unilever version which most of us know.

There's a restaurant by that name in London....

Tiger - as in Woods Correct you are, take it away

nope

Ok, a quick fire round. Who is Eldrick Tont better known as?

Mmmmm... don't know if you are referring to a specific event, but pollarding is the pruning off the top of a tree to promote lateral growth. It's seen quite often in Europe, less so here.

A rock ridge

Obviously the 2003 world cup down under. Seem to remember that it was after our horrid defeat to England, but can't remember who we played.
