Once more unto the quiz, dear friends

Here we go again, King William's College quiz.

You know the rules - equivalent of looking it up in a library. (This means you can use Google if you've got an inkling of what it is and would be doing the equivalent of reaching for a book on the appropriate subject to check your answers but not to force-break the questions if that makes sense.)
