    Hey, with my eyesight it took me a long time to count the lines, so it was tough :p

    Here's the question: In Greek mythology, what's the name of the young princess who was chained to a rock in a cliff, and offered as sacrifice to appease Poseidon?

    Andromeda is the correct answer. :thumb:

    Cassiopeia was our heroine's mother, whereas Persephone was the reason why winter exists.

    Hurray for me!

    Which German composer, key to early development of German Romantic opera, composed the opera "Der Freischutz"?

    *CLUE* He died from tuberculosis, at 39.

    It is of course - Carl Maria von Weber. Well done Meme :thumb:

    And to those who have yet to hear the work, :nono: you are missing a work that strikes a great balance between accessibility and musical substance; which made it by far the most widely popular German opera of its generation. Go and see it!

    Excellent, now for a simple maths question.

    What is the equation of the straight line that joins the points (-1,-4) and (4,-3)?
