I don't think you need to say "other" in the final question. It would read more nicely.

It would be like asking, "What is the nearest other country to Australia?" No one is going to get confused if you get rid of "other" there.

Fine quiz, although it would have been cooler to have a quiz about Makar Sankranti. Admittedly, I'd've got zero.

@Aaron197 this shouldn't be on the 'answers contain something' series - it's only about the sun, not about sun things
