In 1962, British audiences were confronted with a different kind of movie hero with the screen debut of James Bond in Dr. No. (The movie didn't open in North America until 1963.)

In one of the more game-changing scenes, Sean Connery's cold-blooded spy, also known as 007, confronts the murderous Dr. Dent after the weaselly traitor has fired six shots into Bond's bed. Before liquidating Dent (in a scene that was paid homage in the opening sequence of Casino Royale), Bond offers up the deathless kiss-off: "That's a Smith and Wesson and you've had your six."

If that's the kind of detail that sticks in your mind, you may have a shot at answering the following 10 questions without employing any Internet fall-back.

You can send your answers by mail to Bond Quiz at the Winnipeg Free Press, 1355 Mountain Ave., R2X 3B6 (include your name, address and phone number) or go to www.winnipegfreepress.com and respond online (click on "contests" at the top of the page).
