2. The Spanish Hispano-Suiza firm was encouraged by Spain's young King Alfonso XIII, who was such an enthusiastic and skillful motorist that they named one of their most famous pre-1914 sporting cars the "Alfonso-Hispano" in his honour. Quite what he would have thought if he had known that all Hispano-Suiza cars would come to be known by the nickname of "Banana Squeezer" is not recorded.

By asking on this site you may get an answer that you would not otherwise have had but, so does everyone else.

I think what sodemall is trying to say is that it is well known on here that the organiser of GBQ and GFQ has specifically asked that answers to his quizzes are not given away on here.

What is more bewildering in this particular case is that the quiz was only published on Thursday and here we are on Friday with someone already trying to get answers by posting the questions on here expressly against the wishes of the organiser.

Here I am just settling down for a nice afternoon of GFQ starting backwards and I google Banana Squeezer and someone called panda4 has asked for 4 questions on DAY 2 of the Quiz..
I thought detective would be first. Perhaps it's a name change.
How disappointing! Perhaps panda4 could reply.

I dont do this quiz but I just put banana squeezer into google, not even anything else and its the 4th item down
It took less time to type it there then it did the whole question here
Will panda4 reply - I doubt it
