'Going for Gold' Style Quiz

[Kamui-FastestChefInTheWorld]

This is my first quiz, so please don't be too angry if there are some problems or mistakes.

The idea is that you get points for how early you 'buzz in'. For example, if you go for the answer after 1 clue, you get 10 points, after 2 clues 9 points, etc. If you get the answer wrong however, you get 0 points! Scores out of 30, good luck!
