I missed two, but I am over 60. #7 did not make sense to my aged mind until I saw the answer.

I had all 20, but changed my answer on 14 from G to B. I thought the first line of that would be "I found my freedom"

I got 19 right, without looking at the choices offered. #7 confused me, but that's not that hard to do anymore.

I missed 3 and 10. I'm 50 and reminded on a daily basis how not cool I am by a 13 and 11 year old. Dr. Evil and Scott aren't too far off the mark!

Well, 19 out of 20 right. I missed #10, but only because I detested The Wizzard of Oz so much that I never watched it http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif. The only way I know where the quote comes from is from doing an internet search. I just thought it was probably part of a Dr Seuss poem that I also couldn't stomach. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif
