Here is a quick-fire puzzle quiz for the festive season, no prizes, just for fun.

It is all about speed. How quickly can you answer all these questions? Nothing too tricky, all answers probably searchable on Google, but where is the fun in that (and you are not going to get through them quickly if you start searching).

Answers in the New year.
