AnswersAnswers
  1. Pictures 1 and 2 are of Mrs Palin, 3 and 4 are Tina Fey, who bears a strong resemblance to the Alaskan governor. Click NEXT to see the comic as herself.
  2. It's correct designation is "super-yacht" - any recreational boat over 200ft (80m). And gin palace is a term given to 60s and 70s power boats.
  3. It reads "There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life" - devised by the British Humanist Association. Christian Voice is not happy, but the Methodist Church thinks the posters will encourage people to think about the "deepest questions".
  4. The UK economy is defined as being in recession after two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth. Results on Friday showed a 0.5% shrink in the last quarter; if the next also shrinks, that's a recession.
  5. It's at a five-year low, down to about $1.62 overnight on Tuesday - a big fall from recent heady days when £1 bought $2.
  6. Wolfing down meals may be enough to nearly double a person's risk of being overweight, Japanese research released on Wednesday suggests.
  7. It's a two-thirds pint - a twother in the UK, a schooner in Australia. Weights and measures are under review and among the proposals is to make it a standard measure in pubs and restaurants.
