I apologise, the answer to part 1 should be Spain - not Canada. Your answer to part 7 is wrong. Dmn 17:03, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

A Few More Parts

5, I suspect is Tatiana Romanova from From Russia with Love. 7 is Bally (found by googling Playboy and 6 Million Dollar Man on wikipedia)

Spotted links from previous rounds in the WhatLinksHere of a couple of answers, then it was just a case of tracking down the previous answers and matching them up. Still not convinced by the round 6 one, though. - Lee (talk) 18:11, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Indeed I have messed up. Those dates are the answer to Wikifun Round 4, Question 4. I was wondering when somebody would peruse the WhatLinksHere. Well Done. Dmn 00:54, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
