6 Hakuhō Shō is considered the greatest ever competitor in which sport? Pure guess - Sumo wrestling

1 Three-year-old Eliza Armstrong was the first patient at which hospital?
Great Ormond St Hospital? That's a famous children's hospital, at least.
Incidentally, there's a tv movie based on Peter Pan that's partly set at the Great Ormond St Hospital, and it's really good: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4051850/ (You definitely need to believe in fairies to watch it, though.)

2 What is the world’s largest trade book fair?
Is it Las Vegas? At least, I know Vegas does host large conventions and events and I read a murder mystery about a book fair there.

Great Ormond Street Hospital was bequeathed the rights to Peter Pan and gets money from that source every year.
