There's a book/film called "The Golden Compass".
Is there a "Golden Planet"? (4th pic)
Q6 - Anything to do with being a General Election that year?
Quite possible....Heath called a snap election, so maybe this meant the Queen had to stay put in Blighty. |

I think she was in convict land at the time and had to return half way through |

Had to return and the Greek carried on without her

I thought of golden....but dismissed it on the grounds that Golden Girls was about more mature ladies.
and golden compass, on the grounds of wanting a pic of a more ornamental thing.
Maybe the spheres are golden balls (Beckham) then.
Pic 5 is a logarithmic spiral that I think is termed the Golden Arc or Golden Spiral or at least something "Golden" |

Isn't the last picture a diagram of gravity assist - a sling shot. There was a programme called the Golden Shot. |

18. I live in the town of Pompom with my ox. I need to cross the mountain to Pimpim to sell my turnips at market. I have 1000 turnips. The distance from Pompom to Pimpim is 99km. The ox can only carry 100 at a time. Also, it eats 1 turnip for every km it travels. What is the maximum number of turnips I can get to market?
Taking the question exactly as written, there is nothing that says the turnips have to be transported by the ox. So, leave the ox at home, stick all 1000 turnips in a land rover, and drive the 99km to market, taking all 1000 turnips with you  |

Don't know, I've always known it as the golden spiral, or a sort of geometric nautilus....not to be confused with a mystic nautilus. Golden does kind of fit....in the same way that Howard did last week, but that wasn't correct. |

Don't think we've got the listed building laden county yet....I would say it has to be one of the larger counties, so prob one of Yorks, Lincs, Norfolk, Devon.

I thought of Yorkshire, but it tends to be treated separately via West, South, North etc |

Which prob rules it out....Lincs apart from Lincoln isn't full of historic type places, and has loads of spud and carrot fields. Devon has to be a shot....Plymuff would have many more historic buildings, but got bombed to buggery by the Luftwaffe. Norfolk has Norwich, which is historic and places like Kings Lynn....also it has a stupid amount of huge churches from the wool trade, in loads of tiny villages packed quite close together. |

Lots of old looking buildings there No, but in the main they need to be quite posh....stately homes, twee chocolate box market towns, churches, cathedrals etc. Historically Cornwall has always been a bit of a pauper. Wilts must have a good few, but a lot of it ie Salisbury Plain is relatively empty for England, so prob rules it out. |
