The answers for these are...

4) Little Red Riding hoods real name is Biddy, thats from the version published in 1729 I believe?? Its been a long time since I looked at fairy tails.

5) The Detours changed their name to The High Numbers and then they changed their names to The Who, it was 1964

6) IT was purchased in... 1917? can't remember the year, it was definitely bought From Denmark. It became quiet a hot issue because of its possible use as a naval station in 1915. They were afraid it would eventually fall into German hands. It was bought for 25 million in gold coin.

7) Would that be an umbrella? It was also used by Europeans in the colonies outside of Europe such as the American colonies. Also Australian, mostly by females.

8) The wonderful and much appreciated Albert Einstein.

9) He was struck by lightening, didn't kill him though. He had a bunch of operations and returned to golf.

10) Eels, but I also believe it is the collective noun for hedgehogs also.
