Here are some other questions from the test. Anyone know the answers?
Photography
This Frenchman lent his name to an early form of photography.
Mythology
He occupied a chair over which the “sword of” him was suspended by a single thread.
Symphonies
Mozart’s last & perhaps most powerful symphony shares its name with this planet.
Actresses
In 2008 she played Daisy, the lifelong friend of Benjamin Button. [I'm annoyed I don't know this considering the amount of ads I've seen.]
Cable TV Personalities
This Scottish-born Chef is known for his t.v. rants at weaker restaurateurs. [Ramsey, right?]

I think the photography is Daguere or Degeurre or some other French name I can't spell.
Damnacles (again ? spelling) is the Mythology one (thank you 3 Stoogers)
I got nothing on the Symphonies. I think his last one was Requiem, but I don't think it was finished and I can't think of a planet that matches.
Actress is one of the Kates, I think Blanchet.
I think you're right about Ramsey.
You did pretty good!
A daguerreotype (original French: daguerréotype) is an early type of photograph, developed by Louis Daguerre, in which the image is exposed directly onto a mirror-polished surface of silver bearing a coating of silver halide particles deposited by iodine vapor.
The Sword of Damocles is Greek legend - epitomizing the imminent and ever-present peril faced by those in positions of power. It is used to denote the sense of foreboding engendered by a precarious situation,especially one in which the onset of tragedy is restrained only by a delicate trigger or chance.
I never saw the 3 Stooges bit with this but I'm assuming it may have ended with a poke to the eye or a pie fight.
Mozart's last symphony, written in 1788, was nicknamed the Jupiter symphony.
And yup, you're right about it being Cate Blanchett.
And the Scottish-born Chef is Gordon Ramsay whose empire is crumbling as I type.
