Actually Serges is one smart cookie he's answered them all correctly.
Here's how the answer to #4 appears:

I got as far as "Wise", then I decided to eat some chips and just kinda let it go...

LMAO I was just wondering why everyone was so high on writing 42...

yay for 44! 42 is pretty arbitrary anyways. ;)

Everyone did great on those.Cousin is correct for number 1 but its b/c the others refer to a specific gender.Although in this day & age I guess you can have an Aunt Richard. :)
