No outside sources allowed. Just take your best guess.
1. The Faroe Islands are an autonomous province of what country?
Finland
2. The actor Errol Flynn was born in w (Fanny bumped my arm while I was typing and wiped out the rest of this question)
Ha! Trick question! He was born in Tasmania. I actually own a copy of My Wicked, Wicked Ways (it wasn't a source, it's still packed in a box somewhere). The most interesting thing I remember about it was that his first job was castrating sheep with his teeth. Although I don't know if Errol Flynn is actually the best source of facts about the life of Errol Flynn.
3. Alcoholic fermentation coverts sugar into alcohol and what gas?
Nitrous Oxide (why else do people laugh so much when they drink?)
4. Ford Frick was the commissioner of what professional sport?
