Two things have I learned today:
1) Always, always, always go for the obvious answer
2) That last question: the setter clearly has a limited imagination as to what can happen whilst doing the correct answer ![[Devil]](graemlins/devil.gif)

Me neither, Smudgie, but thankfully the Guessometer does. And it remembered the answer to the film question after whispering it to Uncle Pete ...

Was that the "where to put the quiz" question? Very weird indeed.
The Guessometer came up trumps though, putting me in fifth place.
