Glad you are having a good time. Currently my house is torn a part. Leah's eating golden puffs off of the floor. Lily is sitting on my lap and Andrew is at a farm meeting. Just thought you would like to know. :) Okay as for the quiz I am only going to guess I"m not going to look up the answers.
1. I could answer this one correctly if I was at your house because dad has a conversion sheet tacked on the cork board behind the new computer, but seeing as I'm not there I will have to go with 2,000. :)And since I can't answer the extra credit I will move on to #2.
2. My guess is Freap.
3. Zack calls Uruguay , 'Guay because he thinks he is SOOO cool :)
4. Ilinois I think borders five states so I will go with that one.
5. Meow Though I'm not really very good at those whole word name thingys so That is a total guess.
6. I know in a way you are probably making fun of my poor grammar and correct spelling skills but I am still going to go with It's.
7. This one's tough.... um... I can't even think of one.
8. Independence? I thought that was right but I'm not 100% sure.

Obviously no clue.
12. I am going to say C. Leaning on the post.
13. I know that .01 is one tenth, .001 is one one hundredth, and .0001 is one one thousandth so I am going to guess .00001. I really only know these from the Olympics not from the metric system that I should know from teaching biology.
14. I asked Leah and she said "tigger" so there you have it.
