Only one king. All af Englands kings were either dukes, princes or similar when they were crowned, except from King James VI of Scotland who was crowned king of England in 1603

ChuckleS made no. 1. Najz work.
SveinR got lucky on this one with his guess at 0 cms in no. 4. This is because the tree grows in the top, not from the bottom.

Question 1: When the oil-sheik Abdul Abdullah died he left 17 camels. In his will he had decided that the oldest son should get half of them.

ChuckleS is back on top. He made no.1 and 5 and is currently in a tied lead with Zworqy, but ChuckleS, it would be much more paws than 194. 4*3*3*3*3*4 (kittens paws) +4*3*3*3*4 (cats paws) = 1296+432 = 1728 + 2 feet
