Two days to closing date. Please help, as my 6 brain cells cannot cope.

One hears Charles taught us about the Galapagos Islands (2 digit answer)
Jockey racing out in Northern France (4 digit answer)
Dramatically replaced by an adding machine (1)

Any help at all will be much appreciated. Have been on the bothersome thing since October ..............................

It is the most fiendish quiz I have ever tried!
