Wow. I got 31 of 33, and I thought I should have gotten 32.

"1000 Y in a M" ==> "1000 years in a millenium" is not correct, it seems.

"23 P of C in the H B" has me stumped.

Took me a while to spell "Fahrenheit" correctly.

Farenheit? Ah crap, an amarican test. No wonder I only got 6 so far...

It's a mixed bag. "15 P in a R T" might be tough for Americans. But yeah, probably more America-centric ones than not.

That was hard. Also, there was a question about "Cricket" (the sport) wasn't there? American's would have no idea about that.

Yes indeed. I only got that one because I go to my grandson's cricket games (born in Oklahoma, living in Auckland NZ since 1998). So, I had an unfair advantage.

I googled it, so I know the answer now, but I didn't get it myself. I could not shake the idea of "H B" as "Holy Bible" (as did thenewgreen, looks like :-)

Just saw Owl's post - so I guess that's 32 now (I've been spelling 'millennium' wrong also).

No matter how I spelled millennium I got that wrong. That puts me at 18.
