Ahh, too slow on #15, I see. Anywho, #7 must be a two-word phrase… Cupid’s Foot? Python Foot?

amaranta- you’ve already done the heavy lifting, so I’ll just push you over the goal line:

Monty Python?

  1. c. Take the first word and change each letter to the next letter of the alphabet.

I guess I mis-read the question - I thought they were looking for the name of the applied to that detail, not the one associated with it. Oops.

#24

I’m fairly certain it would be a list of Winter Olympics events. Assuming the list is in alphabetical order, Alpine skiing would be first. If there’s some other order that the events usually appear in, someone can correct me.

#32

Harp. These all appear on the respective countries’ €1.00 coin

32 is correct, Mbossa. The other is not.

I think you mean atomic number, not weight.
Also, I don’t understand the link between the answer and “miscue.” Could you elaborate?
