1K: We've discussed this elsewhere, but as I said there the only term I'd heard for this was "pee-shy". This was from a male nursing student, who had the condition themself. You'd think they'd have used the medical term if anyone would, but they never did. Because its a problem with bladder muscles & only one answer has the term "shy" in it, I pick the right answer.


5K: I would have gone out on this question unless I had the smarts to call in my +1. My reasoning is that July & August were both named after Caesars (Julius & Augustus), so before those months were put in there if you started with January, named after 2-headed god Janus & definitely the Roman 1st month, & count to 7 you get September.

But that's not what the question was asking. I don't think, based on the actual answer. They just want you count back 7 months, starting with Sept. I think. The do say "equivalent of our what", not "what month started their year". Oh well.

I'd have thought either A or D would be an acceptable answer.
