coughingbearOK, here is the quiz that Hilary Clare set for the London Forest Day. The instructions given were that where names of characters are asked for, first name and surname are required (except in question 2). Also give the book to which each question relates. Total possible marks: 50.
If people want to do this, perhaps initially you can just give one or two answers, even if you know them all. If you do, I'm very impressed. I had a quick look on the day and think I knew about nine.
ETA: I have put in bold the three questions that haven't been answered at all yet (though no one has come up with the precise description of Nicola's parcel for no.13).
ETFA: Only the rounds of the diving competition missing now - this is such a mean question I can't imagine anyone knowing without looking at the book! I don't myself, but will check it tonight.
ETFFA: We have achieved some kind of answer on the diving competition, though I remain unconvinced by the official line of eleven rounds.
