The third question was just nuts as it *had* to be my first answer .... and then I saw I had misspelled it. (But then again I kind of cheated on question 2)

I hadn't even noticed my symmetry, thanks for pointing that out @woozy. Sort of a 5-minute re-enactment of Flowers for Algernon :lol:

Well that had to be the most depressing start. I was afraid for a moment I'd end up with a no score. (The pop culture and sparts have been killing me)

Now *thats* more like it.
