tough questions

I know the answers to at least 15 off the top of my head.

Some questions were quite tricky. But with a little digging I might get a reasonable high score

[Maniac]

[Tuberski]

I dug for a while and answered quite a few.

ACK!

[Alex]

Tricky questions. I think I could answer 15-20 of them on a first glance. Not bad, really.

[Addled Platypus]

how many packs of pink profolatics can the platypus pick

[Martin Gühmann]

Only as uninflected adverb.

Cookies sind blöd!

But: blöde Cookies

So don't nail me down on the four letters.

But thanks for posting the questions some of them are really hard while other are pretty easy.

[Zoid]

and some of the questions were indeed really hard to find the answers to. I had to do a lot of digging and I´m not sure if they´re the right answers...

[Paddy]

Great quiz, looking forward to the answers

[DarkCloud]

Zoidberg, everything should be findable...

Though questions 3, 14, 28, 34, and 35 can't be found by easy type-in searches... (at least easily), they should be readily apparent to most users- or logically deducable.

Happy Birthday Apolyton!
