A Quick Quiz

Chanced upon this while "working", ie while surfing the cyber waves in the office, and though I'll put it up in case I forget about it when I get home. Try to finish the questions in as little time as possible. Some of the questions will look familiar I guess. I hope most of you can get at least 8/10, else I don't know what to say about your competence... Put your answers in number sequence in the comments and I'll post the answers tomorrow (if I have time and am not drunk).
