  1. The people who got both answers correct were, in order of receipt:

    Mark Williamson
    Naomi
    Domesticated Ape
    Martin Phillips
    John Himsworth (at the second attempt!)
    Rob Northcott (at the second attempt!)

    I had 19 replies.

    Lots of people went for the blue duck egg. The blue duck egg was true.
    I saw it. Mallard eggs are pale blue.

    Lots went for the spelling of Fucik. That's just my ignorance: I went
    to a cheap school.

    A few picked up on my inconsistent uses of right and left. That was
    just tired writing, and not "general knowledge".

    One optimist said that Nottingham isn't violent.

    The correct answers:

    The suspension bridge is not one of the 10 longest single span
    suspension bridges in the world. Reading my previous posts would
    reveal it as a short footbridge (about 100 metres), but general
    knowledge would bring to mind the Golden gate Bridge, Sidney Harbour
    Bridge, The Severn Bridge, The Humber Bridge... and so on and suggest
    that a small inland provincial city like Nottingham is unlikley to have
    a world-class bridge.

    My left knee cap is a -patella-, not an -acappella-. -a cappella- is
    unaccompanied singing. Naomi did well with her amusing reference to
    patella/paella, and there were many musical puns about my Morris man's
    knee.

    Thanks to those who made the effort to enter.🙂

    I don't believe there's a conspiracy, because they want us to believe
    there is
