I finished it in the first 5 minutes but won't put the answers down to spoil it for the rest of the lads eh Neil!!

Question 18 is proving to be a difficult one and it could be argued open to interpretation. How to or how not to end up in the divorce courts ?

Possibly, but no one has had 17 correct and maybe the 18 question so it's still an open contest.

[Kaizer Sozĕ 266]

An otters excrement is known as spraint. And an otter's tail is known as a rudder, or stern.

Is 17 some form of trick question Neil? I would have said the same as the rest of the lads!

[Haiddheliwr 1,911]

STOPPING OUT- Fox earths are "stopped" when they are blocked during the hours of darkness preceding a hunting day. The fox is then out and the object of the manoeuvre is to make him sleep out next day and so be available for hounds to find.

PUTTING TO- To stop a fox earth on the morning of a hunting day with the idea of keeping any fox already inside and of preventing a hunted fox getting inside.

No trick questions.

Otters tail is a rudder .

Stopping out is preventing a bolted fox from getting back in .

Putting to is casting hounds on a known fox line .
