Dear Vincent in Brussels,

I am sorry I couln't reply earlier, and I hope it is not too late for the
Quiz. Unfortunately, I just know the answer to the second question: The moon
inhabitants are the "selenites".This question was discussed several times in
the Jules Verne Forum, and you may look at October archives to see some of the
answers.

However I don't know the answer to the first question, and I CC this message to
the Jules Verne Forum, in case some of our firends there know better!

Thanks for the complements, your enjoyment is my reward. I wish you and your
daughter a lot of health,

Zvi.

About the first question,
