Ellen, although you missed some, you still did good. If I didn't have the answers right here, I doubt if I would have got many without looking up the answers.

Tessa, your post made me go back and recheck my answers. You are absolutely correct, I miscounted. Whatever was I thinking? Was I eating chopped liver when I counted them? So OK, folks, here's the final count.

First place goes to Tessa and Lou who only missed one. Excellent job!!!!!

Second place goes to Tessie who only missed two! Great job!!!

Third place goes to Jaime who only missed three! Very good!!

Ellen came in last place. Thanks for playing!!!
