This time, I decided to try to come up with one that is at least semi-Google proof. I am certain you guys will let me know.
I am so confident that no one will get them all, that if anyone does, they can invite a guest. No collaborating on your honor. Answers should be sent to me via PM. Winner gets treated to dinner at the "good" restaurant.
