They say bad things come in threes and that's certainly been the case this year. Friday November 13 is the third Friday to fall on the infamously unlucky 13th day of the month this year. The first was in February and the second in March.

This inauspicous triple whammy isn't due to happen again until 2015.

Until then, see if you can get lucky and answer the 13 questions in our quiz.

Q1. Twilight's first director Catherine Hardwicke wrote the film 13. Which Twilight star was her co-writer?
