OK, 6.2%. And still no double.

1. easy.
2. NFC. I would JTQ.

3. I guessed on this one and got it right-but up there I'd probably ATA.

4. easy. Wasn't there a movie about him back in the 90's?

5. JTQ.

A very worthwhile cause - I have been struck lately by the situations encountered by returning veterans, particularly disabled ones.

She posted it deliberately in order to bring attention to the subordination of women in Saudi Arabia.

How many dependents does he claim?

Seriously, this would be a tough one unless you just happened to know it. It's a New York audience and they might know, but I think I'll JTQ.

Driving is the logical guess because that restriction is so well known.

Even if you didn't see the movie and don't recognize the name, if you know China became a republic in the early 20th century, you can figure it out.

All you have to know is the FICA tax rate. (Most workers also have to pay Medicare payroll tax, but some municipal employees don't.)

1st Q - easy; gets the biggest money

2nd Q - an obvious jump- only misses $100

This kinda thing happens an awful lot lately...
