Nice! Sorry I missed out on this.

 

btw, I think you typed the wrong answer in for #9.

 

I have no idea what you're talking about. :facepalm:

 

I don't think you've missed anything yet. Those are just my wild guesses - some more wild than others apparently. I haven't seen the answers yet.

 

 

Ha ha! Must've been my dyslexia acting up. When I made that post I could have sworn the word "Vanderbilt" was typed in as an answer to #9. Which didn't make any sense. :lol:
