Name the actress

Post by Rudi »

Reveal the (real) name of an actress who stars as a detective in a TV series...

To find the answer, first extract the character (in the position marked by the #number) in each of the answers:
EG: Question: What colour is grass? #2 (#2 represents the second character) >>>> Answer: Green - So extract the "r"

Once you have all the answers, the 10 extracted characters will provide the actresses name as an anagram.
Put them in the right order to reveal her name.

QUESTIONS:

1. What is the chief river of Ghana? #5
2. By what name is Mendelsohnn's 4th symphony known? #2
3. St. Boniface is a suburb of which Canadian city? #4
4. What African lake is the 2nd deepest in the world? #2
5. What substance is usually associated with a 15th wedding anniversary? #1
6. What number is between one and five on a dartboard? #5
7. Which team lost in the final of the FA Cup in 1992? #8
8. What chemical element was discovered by Hennig Brand in the 17th century? #10
9. What novel by Ian Flemming was the first to feature James Bond? #4
10. What soft white clay is also known as China clay? #1

Good luck :smile:

Rudi

I can answer the 10 questions by Googling, but since I never watch television, I have no clue whatsoever to solve the anagram. So I'll leave this one to others...
Best wishes,
Hans

Oh come-on Rudi, you're making it far too easy, please refrain from giving hints in the future. :laugh:

This puzzle has become a cold case, so I think its time for another hint to try resolve it...

Once you have the letters from the questions above, you are left with 10 letters that make up the name of an actress who's name is ***** *****
Another hint:
She stars as a detective in a popular TV series of which the word in the title is referenced many times in fairy tales...

Fortunam
