Here is one of those things that goes around by email that I had fun with. I was suprised at what I knew (like #17), but even more surprised that I couldn't come up with the answer for #19! Have fun and I'll post the answers tomorrow. By the way, I got 20 right. At least it's better than 7! I've posted the answers in the comments.
