Well this is a quiz, but I've gone and forgotten the answer to the question now.
Oh I remember now. The answer is "The marijuana virus". But I don't s'pose anybody would have got it from my almost unintelligble question. 
Oh s0d it. How high is Mount Warning and who named it?Bob Willson

To my knowledge Mount Warning has never smoked dope.How high is Mount Warning
I think that "It" is spelled with two tees "Itt" and since he/it was in fact Lily Munsters cousin "Cousin Itt" I assume naming was performed by Lily's Aunt.who named it?

Because that's the number the Post Office gave them?

It's all in the numeric permutations:
9994
Add them up and you get 31
if you take 1 from 3 you get 2, the Channel number of the ABC's TV station in all capital cities, and if you dial 2 on an alpha numeric phone the number also represents the letters ABC !
Bet no one else in the whole world knew that!!

BM, that is very scary stuff indeed. You really are an evil genius.
Craig, are you sure your answer is fact and not an urban myth? I know of one explanation but it was denied by the ABC..."I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."

Nope not 100% sure it's fact, it's something I've been led to believe though. However if your urban myth matches the answer I'm thinking of I'll pay it.

Well, the Don's batting average is 99.94. The story is that one of the directors who was a Bradman fan requested that number.

Yep that's the answer I was after. Didn't know it was a myth though.
