Is that Michael Stich?

Maybe my line of thinking for Q27 was too subtle. The five stars represented on the "Australian Flag" are in the constellation of Crux; Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta Crucis and Epsilon. [It is really not that simple but that is the usual description.]
As far as I know there is no star called "federation star" but a symbol on the Australian flag is often called by that name.
Half a point each to Unicorn and Fulvio.

1001 Arabian Nights Fulvio

Fulvio, That is indeed wrong.
Try googling "Arabian Nights" to see how close you are.

Thanks. I was thinking along those lines from the start, but kept skipping it because of the doubt. Good outcome though.

A close fought contest but we have the prize winners.

I am surprised that Q16 was last -I expected Q14 to be the trickiest one. I also put Q7 in the "hard" basket, hence the clue.

Google is cheating. :)

This answer is disallowed;
•Question has already been answered
•Not a known phrase or expression.

Closest I could come was "1001 Animal Friends" but that doesn't fit the clue and that website is too obscure to use in a quiz like this.

I don't think anyone will be concerned about this point anyway as it does not affect the result.

What is "cheating". Gee, we could devote a whole Forum section to that question.
I think the 11th C* comes into play here.
