...1. So close, you can taste it. 2. He who fights and runs away, may live to fight another day. 3. You are never too old to learn. 4. Revenge is a dish best served cold. I found two versions of the origin of "He who fights.."; the first attributed to the Greek statesman (and soldier) Demosthenes, who allegedly said, "The man who runs away may fight again" after being criticized for deserting the battlefield during the Battle of Chaeronea in 338 B.C. A more common version is the quote by author/poet Oliver Goldsmith (1728-1774), who stated: "For he that fights and runs away, may live to fight another day, but he, who is in battle slain, can never rise and fight again."

[Answer] 4. This little boy was the product of English folklore, and when I say little, I really mean he was SMALL! Who was this tiny son of "Thomas of the Mountain", according to the story as it was written in 1621?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "4. This little boy was the product of English folklore, and when I say little, I really mean he was SMALL! Who was this tiny son of "Thomas of the Mountain", according to the story as it was written in 1621?"

...1. Little Man Fred 2. Tom Thumb 3. Jo Jo 4. Prince Valiant Tom Thumb was an orally presented story in its earliest form, like many other tales of folklore. An introduction to the earliest version of Tom Thumb in written form in 1621 reads like this: "The History of Tom Thumbe, the Little, for his small stature surnamed, King Arthur's Dwarfe: whose Life and adventures containe many strange and wonderfull accidents, published for the delight of merry Time-spenders." In the 1621 version of the tale, a man from the days of King Arthur, Thomas of the Mountain, desired a son, not caring if he was no bigger than his thumb. His wife, after consultations with the magician, Merlin, soon gave birth to a son - Tom Thumb. Through many of the tales of adventures that Tom experienced he was often swallowed by some creature or another. Vulgarisms and questionable passages abound throughout the original stories of the diminutive young boy, but the "cleaner" and edited versions of the character of Tom Thumb have withstood the ages since, as nearly all children have heard of at least one of his adventures.

The other poems also date from the Romantic era, with 'Tintern Abbey' having been written by William Wordsworth and 'Endymion' by John Keats. 'Ozymandias' was the work of Percy Bysshe Shelley.

[Answer] 4. I am an English Poet and writer of the 18th century - and a muted colour often associated with the elderly. What is my name?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "4. I am an English Poet and writer of the 18th century - and a muted colour often associated with the elderly. What is my name?"

...1. Percy Purple 2. Thomas Gray 3. William Green 4. George Mellow-Yellow Thomas Gray was born in 1716 and died in 1771. Not only a well known writer, he was also a professor at the Cambridge University. As a child he was rather delicate, so spent the greater part of his spare time reading all the great classics. As a young man, he went to university to study law, but instead concentrated on reading great literature written through the ages, and the somewhat lighter literature of his time - well, comparatively speaking at any rate. He was also very fond of music and playing the harpsichord. In his twenties he began writing poetry, and also commenced a much deeper study of the great literary works. This earned him the reputation as one of the most learned men of his time and a predominant poet of the 18th century. His most famous poem is "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard". Just to give you a glimpse of the more human side of this writer, though, Gray was terrified of being burned to death in a fire, so he always kept a steel bar installed on a part of his bedroom window where he lived. This meant that, in case of a fire, he could tie his sheets to the bar, and climb down to safety. The image of a sophisticated university professor slithering down a set of sheets tends to make my lips twitch a bit.

[Answer] 3. What crucial item did an English archer keep under his headwear during periods of bad weather?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "3. What crucial item did an English archer keep under his headwear during periods of bad weather?"

...1. A change of socks 2. His bowstrings 3. His lunch 4. His Bible and rosary "Keep(ing) it under your hat" is a phrase in common usage today. It is accepted that it comes from the fact that archers would keep their bowstrings under their hats or headwear when the weather was bad. This kept them dry and prevented them from rotting and stretching. An archer could do this even as the enemy were bearing down on him, as an experienced archer could string his bow in seconds ... All English archers were highly experienced men (this showed in their daily rate of pay), whereas a crossbow took considerably longer to string. It has been written that the English at Azincourt were ravaged by dysentery and a lot of the soldiers fought the French naked from the waist down. Keeping a clean change of socks seems pointless! An archer of this period may well have carried a rosary but he would most likely be illiterate and not own a Bible of his own.

[Ans] What was the most recent letter added to the English alphabet?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What was the most recent letter added to the English alphabet?"

“Z” may be the last letter in alphabetical order, but the last letter added to our alphabet was actually “J.” It is no coincidence that “I” and “J” stand side-by-side—for centuries they were considered the same character! The letter “J” started as a swash, a typographical embellishment for the already existing “I” used to denote the conclusion of a series of ones—as in “Henry viij” for Henry the Eighth. Both I and J were used interchangeably to express the sound of both the vowel and the consonant, until 1524 when Renaissance grammarian Gian Giorgio Trissino argued for J’s autonomy. After being snubbed for nearly three more centuries, “J” was finally acknowledged as a full-fledged letter in the English alphabet.

"Money for Nothing" is a rarity, a song with a writing credit to a non-Dire Straits player. In this case it was Sting.

[Ans] Which letter starts the fewest words in the English language?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which letter starts the fewest words in the English language?"

Try naming five words that start with the letter X. Xylophone, X-ray…not so easy, right? You might want to stop because the Oxford English Dictionary only lists a mere 400 words that begin with the letter X. In fact, in Noah Webster’s Compendious Dictionary, which was published in 1806, there was only one word listed under the letter X: xebec, defined as “a small, three-masted vessel of the Mediterranean”. In 1828, when he put together his American Dictionary, that number had only risen to 13. The number of words starting with the letter X continued to rise until it reached the 400 that we have today.
