Answers

1. It's picture 2 - the cherry red V-neck with grey suit and blue tie. Mr Mandelson returned as Business Secretary for his third stint in Cabinet last Friday. Picture 1 is late Labour firebrand Manny Shinwell, 3 is former chancellor Lord Healey and 4 is Bill Gates.
2. It was in 2001, shortly after the 11 September attacks and the Federal Reserve's own cut. A half-percentage point is also the largest fall in seven years.
3. It's the document processing system - dubbed IPOD by its developers - for organisations that process machine readable documents such as cheques. Apple's iPod was not unveiled until October 2001.
4. It's "digits". The clock was built to highlight the nation's $2.7 trillion debt in 1989 and has kept track ever since. But when it passed the $10 trillion point last month, the sign could not display the full amount.
5. It was reset as "popcorn" and posted online. On Thursday David Kernell, the son of a Democratic politician, pleaded not guilty to hacking into Ms Palin's e-mail.
6. It's Sam Moore's Soul Man - he told Barack Obama's people to stop using it. But Foo Fighters, Van Halen and Heart have all taken exception to their songs being used by the Republicans.
7. A new excavation puts the stones' arrival at 3000 BC - almost 500 years earlier than originally thought - and suggests it was mainly a burial site. Other recent claims include that it was a healing centre, and a site for Stone Age barbecues.
