How well do you know Strombo?

I owe you an apology if you entered the contest but got your email bounced back. I copied the rules to the original contest we ran 4 years ago but did not realize it had a closed email address included in the information. Our regular email is stroumboulopouli@hotmail.com. Please send your entry to that address only. *kicks self*  

Does anybody need some hints before you enter that contest? 

Lets go over the questions again.
