I scanned them and got about 10 right. I'd like to know what a "bridge of sighs" is, and who actually invented the igloo.

[Jessica]

I don't really know what a bridge of sighs is either but that's what it said in the book. One of them is in Venice.

[Tomisimo]

Wikipedia is our friend.

[Jessica]

of course

15. I failed the eskimos. I don't know what a dumbwaiter is, and some others....

[Planet hopper]

I got 8, the one on the bridges of sighs is so very very relative...Hart Crane and Lorca wrote about brooklyn bridge, too

I can also think of he bridges in Lisbon and Rio, and many more.

I don't agree on 17) either, it was actually illegal.

To number one I would argue...Can you sleep with your eyes open? Not me

[sosia]

I also sayed "to sleep" in the one!
proper or illegal, both must be good. I sayed ilegal but counted it as good.
