3. The largest and heaviest internal organ is the liver (the skin is the largest organ overall)
4. A heptagon (also known as a septagon) has seven sides.
5. Sarah Storey for cycling ( I think it was the 3000m individual pursuit)

There is a note on the entry, saying that it was posted on Friday, August 31st, 2012 at 12:00 pm. When is 12:00pm?
I got the day wrong but it was the otherwise very reliable WordPress which put 12pm. There’s 11:59am and 12:01pm but noon is neither before nor after midday so can’t be either am or pm.
1. Mark Twain.
2. Pass.
3. Liver ??.. Are lungs considered an organ ??.
4. Seven.
5. Pass.
