A crazy swagman down by a Billabong after boiling up some shine in his billy under the shade of a Coolabah tree.
Only a nutter like that would invent something like Vegemite

My guess would be "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" since it played in theaters for 30 years since its release in 1975.
Thanks,

What is the origin of the phrase "acid test"?

From Gold Rush days in the USA. Gold doesn't react to most acids as other metals do, but does react to nitric acid. To confirm that a find was gold they used this acid in 'the acid test'.
|
|
|
|
|
Nitric acid was used to determined the purity of gold when it was used as currency in the days before coinage.

What is the least number of shots you’d need to take to win a men’s tennis match?

36...
Each service game you'll need to serve (15/30/40/Game) = 4 aces.
Each non-service game you just sit back and watch your opponent hit 8 balls at the net/crowd/umpire.
So that's 4-shots per 2-games.
Do that 3 times (=12-shots) for 3 sets (best of 5) and you're home and dry.
Brett.
