ANSWERS
JCSD: 4) The monotremes are one of the three main divisons of mammals (the others being the marsupials and the placental mammals), distinguished from the other types by the fact they lay eggs! IIRC there are only two species of montremes duck-billed platypuses and another one whose name I cannot remeber (enchideas perhaps?). Platypus and two ant-eaters. http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/mammal/monotreme.html
Evo: #7 modem - modulate/demodulate
Chroot: 8) I have the feeling this is a trick question, but Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote the Sherlock Holmes books. Hopefully that means he also invented the character. Nah, no trick this time.
Gokul: 12) Hale-Bopp. Just wear black pyjamas, white sports shoes, and a purple handkerchief over your head, and you too can catch a ride on the next passing alien spacecraft !
