ReplyDeletefigured out the "answer" for the image associated with question 16, but i couldn't attach it to question 16... so i warped it into the answer for 22 (with the east-coast-Canadian spelling). Also I was painfully close on #21 (going with the more general, three-letter term). Otherwise, nailed everything but 8, 14, and 16. (I credited myself the points for number 1 despite putting the first word as "two" instead of the correct first word, perhaps I was a touch generous). Either way, 19 or 20 out of 24 isn't bad for a Canuck! (and thank you, Football Manager, for making me aware of precisely one Serbian football team's name.)
ReplyDeleteNice! Yeah, I meant to flag a warning on this that it's a bit UK-centric (I think getting Q16 without good UK knowledge is near-impossible as the associated picture is too cryptic), so that's pretty impressive :)
