I got #6 and the Christmas one. (Final Jeopardy)

Forget physics. And the only reason I knew #6 was because I worked for Gaulin Manf. at one time. They make the homogenizing machines for milk and other products like lotions, face creams. etc.

Tonkin? All these odd country names these days.

All I could think of when I read that was "Gulf of Tonkin" or "Bay of Tonkin" (can't remember which), and Vietnam came to mind. Otherwise I wouldn't have gotten that one. I also toyed with China and Japan as answers, but Vietnam came to my poor little pea-brain first.

Tonkin is an area of Vietnam, not a country.
...Been called that for ever, almost.

Yeah, you can teach us new tricks, but we'll forget 'em real quick !
