JK,

I've been lurking here and not posting my miserable track record answering these questions. I did get the swallows and Lake Superior today. I said 40% on the wilderness land mass of the US.

Thanks for taking your time for these questions. It sure challenges my brain!

You're right Cowboy, I did OK on this one. I missed #4 and #8. I guessed 40% for #3 so I'm claiming a 1/2 'cos I was really, really close. Got truth or crap.

On the whole, not too bad. Enjoyed it.
