23 on my first shot. My kids brought some of these home as homework a few years ago. I also swear that #32 is correct, but can't get it red. Spelling is important, as is capitalization on some.

Anyone care to help on 4, 6, 10, 11, 14, 24, 28, 31, and 33? I've spent way to long on this!

Thanks, Jordan :x

I had the same problem.

I had 19 on my first try and then looked up the rest. Several of these are a cultural bias. It seems this was first made in the UK. But ive done several of these in school before as little games. I even know a few more.

Got 23 in without cheating... but at some point here I'm gonna have to stop and go to work. Never would have gotten 64 squares on a chess board.

Correction up to 29 (30 with squares on a chess board). If I could spell this would be so much easier.

Still missing 30, 31, 33.

I'm surprised Jolly Roger hasn't posted the answer to #33.

Dang it laxfan25 I was trying not to cheat but I also am slighty addicted to the message board. The others posted I had already gotten but not that one. Now I know it. :)

So has no one figured out 28 yet. Everyone seems to be missing it. It was funny when I got it cuz it happens to be in my field of study. Lucky me. I'm just missing 30 and 31 right now, but I didn't figure out 29 and 33 by myself.

I've got all of them except for 28, which I thought I had, but was wrong....

And yes, Gregg, #1 was easy and I certainly did kick myself...

Ah, with that clue I figured it out in two seconds - it was my major too!

I don't want the answer for 28, but.... does H B stand for Holy Bible or Human Body? If not, back to the drawing board...
