I absolutely love these things! The PTA used to sell them to raise money at my school and we would all sit around on a Sunday evening going "7 C of the R" and "1760 Y in a M". So far I have got 27 on my own and another 4 with a little discussion with Mum. Am possibly too addicted to go home before finishing the last two.

edit: Finished them with a consult from Alex & Mum. Always more fun with someone to talk it over :) What are those puzzles called anyway?

Sign into GTalk so we can compare notes! I've got the first 27...

It's a bit American

I got 19 before stopping. Once I twigged a certain theme (hint - religion) that helped.

I got only 23 of them after looking it over for ten minutes or so. But I disagree with the scoring system; a lot of these answers are culturally bent and ethnocentric, many geared towards U.S. folks. =P Not everyone has necessarily heard of "Three Blind Mice" (spoiler; highlight to display).

The next level is to create your own. You could do them SF themed.

(I have an ulterior motive: the Geek quiz is in a few weeks' time and questions that are fun and can be done by anyone are always in short supply.)

Emptied of expectation. Relax.
