ALL QUESTIONS:

(A new question is released each week)

QUESTION ONE (Wed 3 Nov)

I was an English explorer, soldier, writer and favourite of Queen Elizabeth I.

Between 1585 and 1588, I invested in a number of expeditions across the Atlantic, attempting to establish a colony on the coast of what is now North Carolina, and name it “Virginia” in honour of my virgin queen.

I am said to have popularised tobacco smoking in England, and widely speculated to be responsible for introducing the potato to Europe.

Accused of treason by King James I, I was imprisoned and eventually put to death. My last words, spoken to the hesitating executioner, were: "What dost thou fear? Strike, man, strike!"

QUESTION TWO (released Wed 10 Nov)

Developing a passion for adventure at a young age, I steadily gained flying experience from my twenties.

In 1928, I became the first female passenger to cross the Atlantic by airplane, for which I achieved celebrity status.

In 1932, I made a nonstop solo transatlantic flight, becoming the first woman to achieve such a feat.

While attempting to become the first female to complete a circumnavigational flight of the globe in 1937, I disappeared over the ocean near New Guinea, just three weeks before my fortieth birthday.

QUESTION THREE

Born most likely in 1914 in Nepal, but possibly Tibet, my father was a Tibetan yak herder, and I was the 11th of 13 children.

My first Everest expedition was at age 20 in 1935, and in 1947 and 1952 I participated in several unsuccessful summit attempts.

In 1953, I was one of the first two men to climb Everest, simultaneously reaching the summit with Sir Edmund Hillary.

I was named one of Time Magazine’s most influential people of the 20th Century.

QUESTION FOUR

I'm an American archaeologist, WW1 veteran and the son of a professor of medieval literature.

In 1925 I had a relationship with Marion Ravenwood, with whom I later reunited.

While teaching at Marshall College, the US Government contracted me to find the Ark of the Covenant.

I later went on a quest to find the Holy Grail with my father, after whom I am named - though, I prefer to be called by my nickname.

QUESTION FIVE

Born in San Francisco to strict, withholding parents, as a child I formed a love of animals. A prizewinning equestrian, I also studied occupational therapy and later worked in a children’s hospital.

In 1963, I travelled through Kenya, Tanzania, Democratic Republic of Congo and Rhodesia.

In Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania I met Louis and Mary Leakey, and Kenyan wildlife photographers Joan and Alan Root with whom I first encountered wild mountain gorillas.

Remembered as one of the world’s foremost primatologists, I spent 20 years in Rwanda, studying gorillas, supporting conservation efforts and opposing poaching.
