    GAA question I devised myself:

    Taking into account when it was first the Texaco Hurler of the Year, through to its re-brand as GAA-GPA All-Star Hurler of the Year, what is the most common first name of those that have won it? Two of the players on the list played for the same county.

    Of the 27 countries in the EU, where does Ireland rank in terms of...

    A. Population
    B. Area

    Don't look it up on Wiki, try to work it out first, the population one is easier than the area one I think.

    Population I’d say 21. The 3 Baltic states, Luxembourg and Malta all less for a start

    Sticking with movies which Oscar winning actor is better known by his screen name but shares his real name with another unrelated Oscar winning actor?
