    Just to keep it going:

    What is “gibbous” or what does it relate to?

    I was looking at some moon stuff lately, of which:

    Neptune was discovered by Johann Galle and Urbain Le Verrier on September 23rd, 1846. Only seventeen days later, William Lassell discovered its first (and largest) moon. What is its name?

    Total guess, but is it the largest to be tidally locked or something?

    Time to kill this one I think. No patisserie fans here obviously!
    Its a Japanese term meaning creamy texture and its a type of ganache used in patisserie.

    An easy one. How many sheets are in a quire of paper?
