Nice quiz. Still couldn't get them all in the allotted time. The single letter quiz way too easy and open to idiots cheating. Can't cheat in this so probably why they aren't doing or commenting !!!

DUCAT is by far the most obscure, an old European coin, what!

The other answers are great though, a good mix of inside and outside the box thinking in terms of how the clue is pronounced.
