Many Thanks if anyone can with the following.
15) Predominantly in the USA what links Betty Hutton, Cincinnati Liz, Lamebrain Pete, Lefty Louie, and Tennessee Jed ?
33) What is the Latin name of the long thin fault line on the Moon's surface, found on the shore of the Mare Nubium ?
46) How does Messala, the bitter enemy of the title character, meet his death in the famous Lew Wallace novel Ben Hur ?
47) In a popular piece of music, if the bird is represented by a flute, the duck by an oboe, and the cat by a clarinet,
then who or what is represented by French horns ?

Hi Aq I didn't read the book or see the film but I found this on wikipeadea

Epilogue

In the first scene Ben-Hur and Esther have married and had children, as they sit in their villa in Misenum. Iras drops around, and marvels at the children she might have had, announcing that she has killed Messala and finally discovered that Romans were 'brutes'. She leaves just as suddenly as she arrived.

It won't copy and paste - you'll need to type it in - if you can be bothered! Sorry. Aq.

[JoolsTwo]

I will have a look at that tomorrow Aq, as I am about to go to bed.

I have been struggling with the Generalist tonight. I'm getting there, but making heavy weather of it at the moment.

Good Night Aq.

JimJools, I only saw your last post this morning.

I think that you are right about Messala. Having re-read the relevant bits, it seems that he survived the chariot crash by some Moriarty-type miracle. Sorry I jumped in!

I finished the Generalist last night - with a little help from Ont-ice and sarumite. Someone said it was easier than usual - not for me it wasn't!

Post here if you want any hints or help, though I shall have to go out later on.
