So that's 7 to pdurrant, 3 to drjd and 1 to HIMS.

So the only remaining question is:

6. What is the name of the female robot that features in the 1927 film Metropolis?

Was based on an actual character in the film, and designed to look like her.

I missed that number 6 wasn't answered. I love that movie and should watch it again.

Maria. Such a nice name for a robot.

Sorry for the lack of quiz. I was busy out (ballroom) dancing yesterday evening. And I'll be out (country) dancing this evening. If someone else would like to post a quiz, go ahead. Otherwise I'll get one done at the weekend.

To help the Dancing Mouse, I am posting a quiz meanwhile . Each riddle bears one point.

This round presents ten “ditloids”, where the challenge is simply to decipher what each initial stands for.

Example: 24 H in a D = 24 hours in a day

1. 12 S on the F of the E U
2. 18 H on a G C
3. 2 W in a F
4. 7 H P B by J K R
5. 2 Q in a C
6. 7 E in the H
7. 1 H in a D
8. 16 O in a P
9. 1 M, 1 T, 1 W, 1 T, 1 F, 1 S, and 1 S in a W
10. 16 P, 4 K, 4 B, 4 R, 2 Q and 2 K in a G of C

All correct! You must get six points, but since you are already winner of the last quiz, and I posted this quiz on your behalf, you don't get any point.
Better enjoy your dance!
