1. What very Australian word can change its doubled vowels for a different set of doubled vowels in order to spell a second very Oz word?
2. What seven-letter verb beginning with S can be scrambled to spell its synonym in a different case?
3. What indoor game, popular during the postwar period, owes its name to the scientific name for a bird of prey?
4. And for those into music: what contemporary US indie rock band draws its name from a Russian short story?
