The answers to the brain teasers are:
1. Grain is the visible silver halide particles in a film, the more sensitive a film (the faster its speed) the more prominent the grain becomes. Gain is the terms used to increase the sensitivity of CCD' arrays in digital cameras and is the equivalent of film speed, the higher the gain the more you see the pixels that make up the image. They are the same thing in the analogue and digital worlds - use them to best effect.
2. This was the 50mm f/0.95 that Canon supplied with their 7 and 7S rangefinder cameras, it's sometimes called the 'Dream'
3. The Noviflex manufactured by Eichapfel of Dresden in 1934 - didn't get that did you!
4. The Retinas - easy peasy
5. Pixel refers to the smallest recording element in a digital image and in theory the bigger the number of pixels the better the image will be (I know it's more complex than that)
