[AT] O/T How observant are you?

[Bob Seith]

Now just a minute!

There are some non specific questions that leave things open to counter 
arguments. Namely:

On the back of every Canadian dollar in my collection, there is a canoe. 
Of course, my collection stops in 1952...

All my Canadian dimes have a yacht on the back...

We call it a "book" of matches here. A "box" of matches (pocket version) 
has 32 matches in it.

(I got all the rest of them.)
