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.)
