I figured some of you would enjoy it. I did. The 15 right that showed up
on my post was not my score. It was from the guy that sent it to me and I
failed to get it croped out of the message. I actually scored 19. Missed
the two Canadian questions, the direction of the slash on the no smoking
sign, one of the colors (gold) in the Campbells soup can ( haven't looked at
one in over 20 years I guess), the 7th drarf (never liked that story), the
direction of rotation on draining water, low end of the FM band by .1, the
ACE of Spades, and yes I forgot there is on channel 1. However, I didn't
cheat at all and some of those things you just don't see anylonger with such
modern things as remote controls, etc. I don't know that I ever looked at
a Canadian Dime or Dollar coin. Don't see many of them in NC. Wouldn't
have known it was Bluenose if I'd seen it! lol
