I see what they have done with the 2 cycling questions that are the same , they have 2 question 36's , so the first cycling question should be 37 and all questions after that should be 1 number more i.e question 38 should be 39 and 39 should be 40 etc etc.
The cycling question Complete this list: Wendy, Rebecca, and Joanna; Wendy, Lizzie and Joanna; Laura, Wendy and Danielle; Danielle, Laura and Joanna; Danielle, Laura and…
should only appear once as question 38.

No that don't seem right , sorry it's late , they have messed up and got 2 question 36's and 2 of the same cycling questions but im getting more confused the more I look at it , it is quite simple to remedy but im too tired to sort it now so will leave till tomorrow.

34. I was going to say that they all retired as undefeated World Champions - according to their respective wiki pages, except for Lennox 'The Lion' Lewis, although his defeats might have been pre world champion status? Not 100%

Brockton Blockbuster
The Terminator
The Liquidator
The Italian Dragon
El Finito
Lion
Can't find The Phantom

edit* perhaps it's just that they all successfully defended their world titles? gah it's late!

34 What do The Brockton Blockbuster, The Phantom, The Terminator, Lion, El Finito, The Liquidator and The Italian Dragon have in common?

Answer = They are all undefeated boxing world champions

(The Brockton Blockbuster = Rocky Marciano, The Phantom = Sven Ottke, The Terminator = Harry Simon, Lion = Mihai Leu, El Finito = Ricardo Lopez, The Liquidator = Edwin Valero, The Italian Dragon = Joe Calzaghe)

Looking at Lewis's defeats - he beat both of them in re-matches so he retired as a World Champion with no unavenged defeats.
