Hey Marje - why don't you try looking a few up for yourself - the quiz has only been out for four days.  I've found answers to all your questions by 'googling'!!!

Nightowl,  I know it's only been out a few days, but I've got the answers to the others and I may be going away soon so need to get the quiz in, just in case I do.

[marje]

I know Don Quixote named his lady love Dulcinea, but the question asks for the name which is now metaphorically used and is derived from Dulcinea.

I can't say I've ever heard of it!!

You were right Marsh, the answer to Q23 is Dulcinea.  Thanks.
