I have done little to no research on these, I am being lazy.

I have questions I have been idly pondering for a little while. I haven't really tried to research them, I'm sorry. Think of it as a quiz! Or ignore me and I will eventually find some bothered to be and hie me to google. Or post in the book-finding comms, but for now, some specifics and some vagues:

Which YA book is it where the character goes to a museum and sees a sign for "the most dangerous animal in the world" and is scared to look behind it, but then it turns out to be humans? I think maybe a BSC book? Or the Paula Danziger one where Matthew Martin's class has a sleepover in a museum?

Has anyone read a children's book where they are trying to think of a name for their school, and the character wants it to be a suffragette she's done research on, and the school governors think that her militancy means she shouldn't?

What is a computer game from the early nineties or before, that I think wasn't on a PC though I can't remember what system it was on, where you might have been going around an Aztec place and there were puzzles sometimes?

What is a compter game that I'm fairly sure was on a PC, that I played in the early/mid nineties, where everything was ice, and there were blocks of mazes you had to get through to get to the different levels, and sometimes there was a boat? It turns out that this is "Arctic Adventure", from apogee, and I have now downloaded it and DOSBox, and it is GREAT. It is everything I remembered.

I do not know the answers to any of these, but I have the Paula Danziger book so I can check that one, at least!

I remember that game! It ran on the Sinclair Spectrum, and I think it was called "Aztec". In fact, I think I may even still have it in a box xomewhere.
