Had most of them right in my head, but then overthought it! Including the Greek one. I'm amazed at how much I still remember!

6/7
I got the ancient queen one wrong.
Not to surprising as I dropped history at school at the earliest opportunity.

Yeah, I started at the wrong end initially and I'm not entirely sure why.

The last digit being a zero meant it was an even number. The other two options were both odd.
