General Knowledge Quiz! - Quiz in OP - Happy 1,800th!

Looks like I have one left for the day.

I really hope the answer to 329 is Vatican City. If it is not, then the RC church really needs to look at enforcement of its celibacy policy.

294 Tennessee?

230 - Square
321 - The Dead Sea
335 - those hats with propellers on top (don’t know if they have a name)
336 - Karl Malden

OK Tuesday answers, go:
79 Assuming the film is remotely accurate if they are real, the guns of Naverone are in the Greek Islands
142 I think the two were Chrysler and Cadillac
196 Germany
257 Mariner 9 went into orbit around Mars
304 all were fellows of the Royal society?

321 Sargasso? It’s where eels from North America go to breed. Then there’s something weird like the elvers head to both North America and Europe but the European one never come back. Or something like that.

142 - and Cadillac
194 - Oil
304 - something else links them.
330 - Rebel without a Cause?
334 - Finland

Going to answer this one cause question could be clearer.

79 Which country had the guns of Naverone installed - Turkey.

Based on where they built the set for the movie, not where the movie was set.

fixed 337.

302 Paul Newman played the big name in lots of 50’s movies and I think i remember him playing Billy the Kid, and like Gary Cooper in Pride of the Yankees, struggled to realistically do stuff left-handed. Should have got me.
