Scavenger Hunt

1. Where was the first University established and in which year?

Cairo’s University, Al-Azhar, is what I found to be the oldest dating university in the world. Apparently it was founded in 969 AD - http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060729054252AAiUY0V

(Used Yahoo answers)

2.       2. What is Stephen Stockwell's band called and what does he play?  Can you name a couple of their songs?

The Black Assassins, keyboard and vocals, ‘Death Take Me Now’, ‘Drugs’ and ‘Azaria’. - http://www.myspace.com/theblackassassins

(Checked my saved music websites and happened across this one)

3.       3. What is the weight of the world’s biggest machine? How much did it cost to build?

Monster machine Liebherr T 282B, it’s an Earth mover and while it sure didn’t look like the biggest machine on the website it was the only one that gave me a price ^_^ - $3.5 million US - http://www.bukisa.com/articles/40463_worlds-largest-machines-ever-built

(Again Yahoo)

4.       4. Who is Justin Bieber's lawyer, and what is the best way (quickest, most reliable) to contact the lawyer?

Haven’t got a clue, I guess if you wanted to meet him the best way to go about it would be to assault Bieber himself. 

5.       5. What is the cheapest form of travel from the Gold Coast to Melbourne?

Umm, go with a group of friends, camp out and split petrol money???

6.       6. Who is Hatsune Miku? What company does she belong to? What is her birthday?

She’s a popular version of a singing robot called a Vocaloid in Japan, Crypton Future Media, and her ‘birthday’ is August 2007. Actually seems kind of cool ^_^ (Yahoo) - http://vocaloid.wikia.com/wiki/Crypton_Future_Media#Vocaloid2
