Guest TheProudDuck Posted March 23, 2005 Report Posted March 23, 2005 Off the top of my head: 1. Bottom. 2. 46. (It's a trick question; I'll explain if nobody gets it.) 3. Right. 4. Red, white, gold, black ... what are the other two? 8. Red. 10. It varies based on irregularities in the tub's surface. There is a misconception that the water goes down counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise down under due to the Coriolis effect, but that would only happen if the tub's drain were machined and installed perfectly flat, pretty much down to the molecular level, which isn't possible. 13. Left, from the woman's perspective. 16. Ten. 17. Left. 20. Bashful. 22. Joker. 27. Counter. (At least the ones my daughter's addicted to.) I don't know the rest, although I could probably cheat and look at a pencil. Quote

Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and one other state I can't remember are formally named "commonwealths" rather than states But they're treated as states, so for all practical purposes they're states.
