Got about half on the first reading.. might have to print it and think about it,
:)
22 at the moment but includes 3 not too certain about...
Are we allowed to know how many letters for Nos. 4 , 23 and 26 or is that part of the problem :)
Just worked it out - the smily with dark glasses
Got a few of them, need to print it out though.
Ooh this is fun, I love a clever quiz. ;D
I'm on 23 at the moment with two question marks. Think the answer to number 20 is the corniest so far! ;)

I think it's '8'. Not part of the 'problem', more a typo. :)

Dont know how to stop it putting the smile on for 8, It was not deliberate by me.
And it won't now let me Edit it either!

It's the '8' followed by ')' that's the problem. Use square brackets?
G x
Getting most, but one of them makes smile if it correct that is. ;D
Stuck now, but only two left . :) ???
Is no 20 the silly white berried stuff? :-\
