    #6 and #9 are the two that are the toughest to predict, as I’m sure I’m not the only poster to this thread who can, in both cases, give all valid answers from memory. I’d ordinarily have said “Prince Edward Island” for the Canadian province, but I figure that most of my competitors would have done the same thing, so I eliminated that choice. Let’s see if I outsmarted myself…

Plus, we both forgot to take into account all the people who didn’t read the instructions first. :smack:
