Who will be Nextian Brain 2003?

These questions appeared as the 'Nextian Brain 2003 ' competition in conjunction with the UK launch of WOLP. The winner would receive a mammoth roadsign. (not a huge roadsign, but a roadsign with a mammoth on it). You can still do the quiz and compare your answers to those on the answers page.

Some of them are easy, some hard, some very hard. But there is nothing here that can't be answered with some diligent homework and a good knowledge of my books. And a couple of inspired guesses. And luck.
