But because these are so difficult, would you mind at least giving me the answers via PM, in case you get hit by a train or something? Because there's about a zero-percent chance of anyone getting them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve R. Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 In the spirit of self congratulation, let me just proclaim that, without googling any of these, I managed to get 0 answers! My opinion that Google is a great invention has been thoroughly reinforced. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hersch Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 You may certainly have bragging rights for the most answers, although as I'm sure you're aware the only one even remotely correct is "Nope". Don: On the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
