Was on my way to acing this (even with the football question which I surprised myself by getting in a single guess), but then the Beatles question stumped me.
I inherited a copy of a record he released entitled "Best, formerly of the Beatles." On the cover, the 'formerly' is so small as not to be noticed. I hear it sold a lot of copies.
I did some searching, because I really wanted to see that album cover. It's pretty funny - it has a picture of all 5 Beatles (Stuart Sutcliffe was the other that didn't make it), with a small circle around Pete's face. Oh, and the official title is actually just "Best of the Beatles". It was released by Savage Records in 1965.
You know, I'm not sure. I thought it was part of the cover, written just above the o in of, but I can't see it in the album images online. I'll have to look at my copy and see if it's handwritten.
I think his appearance in Black Adder series is even more famous, a classic of British comedy. It was super weird seeing the utterly stupid Prince Regent as House ...
To see a completely different side of him see Ang Lee's version of Sense and Sensibility with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet. He had a minor role but he played a grumpy Regency gentleman quite well. (If I'd been married to his silly wife I would have been grumpy, too.)
I knew him originally from "Jeeves and Wooster". The first time I tried watching "House" I couldn't get Bertie Wooster out of my head, so I gave up. Later on I did watch it though. And as ColoHarpare says - the series is hysterical.
Back in the '80s, they did a comedy sketch programme called "A Bit of Fry and Laurie". That was about the same time as Blackadder, and then they did Jeeves and Wooster. Most definitely a comedic background before they both branched out into other (more serious) stuff.
I still have two seasons of "A Bit of Fry and Laurie" on DVD. Great sketch comedy. Especially John and John the tough 80's yuppy businessmen, the vox pops, and the skits with Control and Number 1.
This is an interesting topic for those of a scientific bent: wikipedia will inform you that "Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers show that the marking strip for the prime meridian at Greenwich is not exactly at zero degrees, zero minutes, and zero seconds but at approximately 5.3 seconds of arc to the west of the meridian". So I wouldn't feel bad about not getting this answer, actually the question is not quite correct.
I was mentally going through every country and even after time was up I kept going until I reached the last possible answer and finally got it - a few minutes too late.
Ringo is far more nuanced a drummer than people give him credit for. Drummers already know that though. It's also said that in all the years that Beatles recorded together, less than dozen takes needed to be stopped because of a mistake he made.
Fun fact about me: I actually learned the answer to the Pete Best question from Jeff Dunhams' world tour comedy special, "Jeff Dunham: All Over The Map."
Bow I get the joke that Ringo isn't even the best drummer in The Beatles.
