Some of the following statements are true but some of them are complete hogwash. Can you tell which statements are true (by answering Vernian) and which are complete rubbish (by answering Hollywood)

 

1) Mount Helicon is 1,520 feet high?

2) After visiting Yokohama, Batculcar's circus is off to Australia?

3) The lower branch of the Amazon is known as "Lake of Breves"?

4) The Niger river was first explored in 1749?

5) Sam Mitchell was the owner of 22,075 head of livestock?

6) Professor Lidenbrock fails to pronounce the word "Gigantosteologie"?

7) Tomsk was founded in 1504?

8) At the equator of Gallia in the summer, it was 30° warmer than at the poles?

9) Uncle Prudent's watch is made by the Tyreton Watch Company?

10) The lowest temperature recorded on the night of February 1st in "The Fur Country" was -10°F?

 

Britain, France or America

 

Of the following people, who were located in Britain, France or America

 

1) John Strock

2) Captain Cyrus Harding

3) Captain John Huntly

4) James Starr

5) Pierre Aronnax

6) Michel Arden

7) Brigadier Cromarty

8) Samuel Ferguson

9) Captain Hector Servadac

10) Corporal Joliffe

 

The person with the highest score up to this point (if there is a tie, the fastest responder will win) will then be sent an additional 10 questions relating to their favourite Verne book. These questions have to be answered correctly (with no wrong answers) within 24 hours of being recieved in order to be formally crowned "Jules Verne Forum Christmas Quiz Champion"
