Well kangaroos are Australian, so I reckon it's some wierd Oz term, like a Woowonger of Kangaroos, or a Chuzzwozzer of Kangaroos.

No. Much simpler than that. I'll post the answers on Monday if no-one gets them. 😛

Army of Frogs is correct. Just the Kangaroos to go: (Clue - it's a three letter word)😛

1. not sure of this, but think it's twice, and faster in cold than warm.
i know it's like seven times faster in glass.

2. virga

for 3, did you mean "could not compete in the finals due to an injury"?
in any event, i never followed the olympics so don't know the answer.

#2 is correct.

#3 was a misprint (it was supposed to be 'could not compete'😉 thanks fror bringing to my attention. It wasn't the Olympics. It was the 2003 female Gymnastic World Championships.

#1 Bonus was wrong. Since it's not cold water, it must be warm.
