Next Question will be coming shortly.

[Lunar]

Can you just give us the answer to the bonus question?

Or at least let us guess again?

BTW, for the french letter:

"ma sincere reconnaissance et a mes sentiments distingues,

(Name)"

obviously there ae little lines aboe certain letters, but you get the point. Sometimes, you add "Ameties" before the name.

That isn't the ending I use but it is correct I believe so

*Ding* Correct

The ending that I personally use is:

Je vois prie d'agréer Monsieur/Madame à l'expression de mes sentiments les plus distingués.

Looked it up and there are four formal endings:

Dans l’attente de vous lire, je vous prie d’agréer, Messieurs, l’expression de mes sentiments distingués.

Veuillez agréer, Monsieur, l’expression de mes sentiments distingués

Je vous adresse, Madame, Monsieur, mes salutations distinguées.

Je vous prie de croire, Madame, en nos sentiments dévoués.

Yes, I would have accepted them, I merely said that that was the one I use .

[JohnFKennedy]

Well if you're speaking of moons as in satelites, there's hundreds.....maybe thousands i dunno, but as far as natural, i'm only familiar with 1.

*Beep* Incorrect. I do not count satellites as in man-made satellites, only natural moons.

Also *Beep* Incorrect on the colour.

No, the theory of the moon's creation  is that it is actually a piece of rock that broke off of the Earth when a comet hit it I believe.

What the ........
Are you one of them that thinks Pluto isn't a planet

[JohnFKennedy]

OK, I have no idea on this one either, since 9 and 10 are gone (my first guesses).  I'll go with 8, 'cause I've heard speculation that Pluto isn't a planet, but a rogue moon of Neptune.

*Ding* Correct.

Jens, if Pluto is counted then so must Sedna be so 9 would be incorrect anyway.

Pluto supposedly meets none of the criteria to be a planet, however, I shall award a point to both Mr. Fresh and Verin as you could argue there are 10.....
