    2. I'm reliably informed by the other half that this is Princess Aurora

    and I think I've just remembered 5. The TT guy, Mike Hailwood?
    8. Miss World used to be held around November time so is it that?

    Had a rethink about the fence-painting.

    If it's a 6ft fence then Alice paints at 2ft per hour and Mark paints at 1ft per hour. So if they start from opposite ends, after the first hour they've painted 3ft (2ft at one end and 1ft at the other end). After 2 hours they've painted 6ft and met in the middle so 2 is the answer?
