Thank you Mr/Mrs/Miss/Ms* Dirtman for your original reply to the posted questions.

It is marvelous to see that the Toronto colony has flourished and has brought forth such a insipidly sharp mind. I have learned that genetics can do quite a lot and that you have a spare compartment for another brain cell...bravo!
I hope to live long enough to see the day when you have a fully functioning twin cell brain, perhaps then you will master the art of counting to ten and using joined up writing without using your feet.

I expect you didn't post an answer to questions 13 and 16 just to give the others a sporting chance. This was most charitable of you, to think of those in your intellectual wake, and I'm sure they are very thankful.

Take care, don't play in the road, just go down to your local minefield where there is lots of little treasures buried just waiting for you to find them.
