--------------------------------------
In question 5, In horse terms, what are the name of a foal's mother and father?"  I had to resist 
the temptation to answer:  Bruce/Mary, Jack/Jill, Boxer/Blossom, etc etc, but Nella did not give me 
the freedom to answer as the question seemed to indicate;  * terms rather than * names and * for 
rather than * of would have been preferable, but then, I am a proper old nitpicker, so what more can 
one expect? though, I must say that I was, just a teeny-weeny bit, tempted to select option A.
