I think there's a compliment in there, right? LOL

 

Not sure if I feel smart or old but even though I guessed at a few, they were (mostly) right based on my gut instinct. Missed 3 by my count, which I thought was pretty good for giving it a go first time through off the top of my head. So the good news is, even though I'm old, the brain is still working! [biggrin]
