Re: Game #180: Inside Out
Of the definite answers, two are wrong. I don't have the time right now to check to see if either is a legitimate alternate answer.
Of the ones with a single answer with a question mark, three are right and three are wrong. One of the latter is, I think, a typo, since the correct answer was suggested by someone.
Of the ones with alternate answers, three include the correct answer and two do not.
