And for anyone working on Alixtended #2, you should find this link most informative, although it won't get you all the way there.

While some of the spellings are British/Australian, few of the concepts in Alixtended #1 are, and while Alixtended #2 is very Australia-centric, reference materials are readily available to anyone with access to an internet search engine.

Unfortunately, I'm going to decline.  While I've happily provided hints, I'm not the Internet Answering Service, and once I open that door there's no closing it again (i.e. if I give you the answers, I have to give them to anyone who asks, and I don't want to be in that position); sorry.

(I assume you are refering to the original questionaire, and not one of the "ailextended" versions). There is a grammatical error in #33, but #32 is spelled correctly. Are you sure you have the correct spelling? The word in question has two double consonants, and uses a third consonant twice. It also uses three vowels, one of them twice.

23 Pairs of Chromsomes in the human Body?  
 
I hope there are a lot more than that in mine. After all each cell should have its own set of chromosomes...
Its not even accurate. In the human genome perhaps?

Thanks. After seeing all the answers I would assume that only half of them might be related to something like intelligence (if at all)!
That's quite a relief as I was starting to get worried about my inner self.

Having seeing it in the easy forum is helpful when you go to do the real thing.  Tongue
