El Escorial is identified as the world's largest Renaissance building in Spain. AC/DC is named after a label on a sewing machine. The body produces about two million red blood cells every second. The Toronto Blue Jays are the only non-US team to win the World Series. Benito Mussolini was the target of Violet Gibson's 1926 assassination attempt in Rome. The FSCS deposit protection limit rose from 85,000 to 120,000 in December 2025. The emperor penguin can dive deeper than 500 meters. Switzerland's Sonderbund civil war in 1847 was that country's last military conflict. Compass-point anagrams, Hawaiian births, UK road-sign shapes, father-daughter film pairings, current continental football champions, rat species, and the first and latest Astronomer Royal complete the answers.
