Nah unfortunately I don't have the "transcript" as the CD face states. I assume the CDs were originally sent out with A4 press sheets including the questions but in this instance I was out of luck when I bought the Republic one years ago.
Well, no worries as I've managed to do a transcript of it myself, which is below, as most of the questions are easy to work out from the answers they give. So here it is!:
