(a) Mongolia (b) Indonesia (c) the Philippines (3) Which of these is an Indian musical instrument? (a) pipa (b) tabla (c) ranak (4) Which is a land-locked country in South East Asia? (a) Thailand (b) Cambodia (c) Laos *(5) And this question really test your intelligence : Mr Lee had some magazines. From Monday to Friday, he sold 315 magazines.

40/50. Bonus answer - sabotage. Fun fact: the word 'sabotage' came about when the Luddites, weavers who worked from home on their own looms, began to be replaced by industrial ones. They went to destroy the looms by throwing their wooden shoes (sabots) at them. That is why we call a person who resists progress a Luddite.
