What formula is used to calculate the area of a circle?<br /><br />5. Name the American Taliban fighter who was sentenced to 20 years jail?<br /><br />6. Apia is the capital city of which south pacific nation?<br /><br />7. Name the two balcony hecklers in the 'muppet show'?<br /><br />8. Which country has the most Roman Catholics?<br /><br />9.

O/k, if a teacher says 'don't have a clue' then maybe I've gone the 'too hard' route. I'll leave it for now but next time make 'um a bit easier.
