does anyone know how to actually enter the answers for questions 28 and 29? Its multiple choice but surely needs a text entry field?

I had the same trouble, posted on the times web site in the comment box, hopefully they will amend the 28 and 29 questions/answers.

I've just emailed the times online customer services and asked if they can sort it.
Wouldn't want all of our hard work finding the answers to go to waste!!

Question 15: If I’m reading correctly they’re asking for the airport, used by Ryanair, nearest to the destination city. If that’s the case I make the answer to be Rome; Ciampino Airport being 15km from central Rome: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome_Ciampino_Airport

Question 10: A possible answer is Bristol. The Exchange, Bristol has a clock showing Bristol Time – the time used before GMT became standard UK time. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Exchange,_Bristol

I can’t find any Bristol “inclination” links though.

a) Boeing 777 0.84Mach
b) Airbus A320 0.78Mach
c) Embraer 195 0.8 Mach
d) Vickers VC10 0.86Mach

Thanks for your suggested answer. I have read online that the Vickers VC10 is no longer a commercial airliner, and the only operators are the RAF? If this is fact, then the Boeing 777 would be the answer. Good luck

Q10 - Big Ben - The tower leans slightly to the north-west, by roughly 220 millimetres (8.66 in) at the clock face, giving an inclination of approximately 1/250 from here

So could be London?

Yes, I see now that the Vickers is only used by the RAF, therefore you are correct as they want the fastest commercial flight.

Sorry

The quiz is running correctly now, however if you have tried to answer whilst the site was incorrect, it will come up saying that you can only answer once. I hav emailed their customer service again for advice.

wow, just spent several hours of my time researching answers to this quiz only to find that you guys do all the hard work then give them out to thousands of people for free, meaning less chance for all those people who actually put the effort in to win...congrats folks ?!?!?!
