Ahh this one I've heard before at a quiz night. It's water polo because if one of the goals is in the deep end and the other in the shallow end, one of them is technically larger than the other.

Going to take a few stabs here

16. Which Welsh Rugby league club are based in Bridgend?
A few years ago I remember watching the 'Celtic' Crusaders in the ESL so I assume it's them, I recall the great Clinton Schifcofske once played for them as well.

32. At which type of race do you not cross the finishing line?
Swimming Race?

42. Why was there no baseball World Series in 1994?
I assume some sort of player strike/pay dispute.

2. In 1950, India withdrew from the World Cup because FIFA refused to let them do what? Play in bare feet.(EG)



*Cough*
Wikipedia wrote:

After the draw, the Indian football association AIFF decided against going to the World Cup, citing travel costs (although FIFA had agreed to bear a major part of the travel expenses),[8] lack of practice time, team selection issues and valuing the Olympics over the FIFA World Cup.[8]

Although FIFA had imposed a rule banning barefoot play following the 1948 Olympics[9][10] where India had played barefoot, the Indian captain at the time, Sailen Manna, claimed that this was not part of the AIFF's decision.
