Here we go with Round Two then. The current leader board is as follows...

Kendra K: 135 points (played 1 game)
Zoot: 120 points (played 1 game)
Andy B: 110 points (played 1 game)
Ballbag: 105 points (played 1 game)
Sunny So Cal: 95 Points (played 1 game)
Ezza: 65 points (played 1 game)
Topher: 55 points (played 1 game)

A reminder of the rules:

There are three rounds in each game. Each question is harder than the one before it.
Each question in round one is worth 5 points, round two is 10 points and round three is 15 points.
Checking your answers is not allowed (i.e. googling them).
However, you have two chances (called 'life-ropes') to get help throughout the quiz. These 'life-ropes' take the form of being allowed to check two of your answers on Google, but you need to indicate that you have done so. These answers will only get you five points each, regardless of which round they are in.
To give your answers, please reply with only the question number and the letter A, B, C or D. This way it shouldn't be spoiled for those answering after you. I'll probably not give the correct answers for a couple of days.

Question 7 doesn't have a correct answer offered. Well, a correctly spelled one anyway.

I dispute this. It's only hard if you don't know the answer.

Who's ever heard of famous economists? Come to think of it what does an economist actually DO?
