I missed six. I remember one quiet night on the river the pilots arguing about the names of the seven dwarfs over the radio. Among my favorite suggestions: Dorky, Sleazy, and Horney. --FLO--

Good job, Flo. I missed seven - including the dwarf.

And I'm sitting here looking at my FM radio dial that goes down to 76.0. (It's made for the Japanese market.)

Six wrong here also, though it's perhaps not quite fair, since I haven't seen a Canadian dime in probably 25 years, and I don't think I've EVER seen a Canadian dollar coin.

I had 18 of the 27 right. The Canadian currency threw me, as did the FM dial, playing cards and matches.

I also missed 6, the canadian coins were two.

Christina, I am supprized that you missed the matches question.

20 cigs in a pack 20 matches in a book.
