Quiz Time: Americana

As promised this weeks theme is on America, so our friends across the Atlantic should have a bit of an advantage. But, my mum has turned around and really thrown down the Gauntlet. She has stated that "just because Americans do a quiz on America doesn't mean to say they will win. I think I could very well do better!". Surely she cannot make it three wins on the trot?? Only Will has managed to do that.

As I am writing this sentance from the hotel at Birmingham airport, you will gather I am off on my travels again. This time it is India, so you have two whole weeks to do the quiz, you may need it especially for the quizzicles round.
