It is a meme sweet Indian Poonam sort of obliged me to do. You have to copy the question texts and provide your own answers in a post, if you like, and, at the end of it, tag someone else (like I did). You probably know about memes. I didn't. This is why I am explaining, just in case. :-)
All the best
Done!
