It seems to me that the Quiz has fallen in a heap, so though I haven't done anything to deserve it, I'm grabbing the questioner's hat with a few items of trivia to get us going.

A. What 1963 Joseph L Mankiewicz film cost $US28 million?

B. Who said "Soldiers win the battles and generals get the credit"?

C. What mammal lives at the highest altitude?

D. What body of water separates New Zealand's North and South Islands?

E. What is the first day of the astrological year?

F. What city's main thoroughfare is O'Connell Street?

G. What was the "African Queen" in C S Forester's novel?

H. What ill-fated craft was captained by Ernst Lehmann?

I. Who asked, aghast: "Who put the pineapple juice in my pineapple juice?"?

J. What two countries fought in the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC?
