Quiz Description

This is a quiz for which the answers of Qs 1-14 form a complete unordered set.
Qs 10-14 are marked with * because they have an incomplete theme connection - all in exactly the same way.
As usual, some theme connections are on the "sounds-like" rule, and for some questions the theme connection is a part of the answer.
