I got 10 out of 10 on the ABC quiz this week! Some of them were actually too easy. I mean question 10, come on! The ABC is deluding itself if it thinks it has an audience young enough not to know that one, even if they didn't read the news story during the week. Which I did, by the way.

What's the answer to question 9? I think the answer given by quiz author is wrong.

When spelt out in ascending order from 1, what is the first number to contain the letter ‘a’?

Agree. I've had this one before.
If your numbers are styled in the American manner it's 1,000 (one thousand). If they are styled in the British and Australian manner (and perhaps other Commonwealth countries possibly excluding Canada) it's obviously 101 (one hundred and one).
