So now I need help! (It was 22/25 - I didn �t bother with punctuation the first time!!!1 - so now I feel better!)
Still on that dratted dentists question. Also, I can �t figure out what answer it wants for questions 13 and 16:
He is certainly not rich
MEANS
I �ve put a lot of variations on �man of means � without success!
He can hardly sleep
VIRTUALLY
Nothing I put seems to fit!
Please tell me what the stupid quiz wants so I can go back to my life!

Q 13: By no means is he rich
I give up on the rest - I �m 4 answers short and all I can say is that not all of these are natural speech and why didn �t they provide an answer key
P.S. I see you�re still woking on it Lyndsey - what�s the answers to no�s 2, 8 and 12? |

I �m up to 24/25 - thanks Jayho!
2 I �m beginning to think has no answer! I �ve put in every variation I can think of and nothing works!
8 is (ironically enough) Try as I might I couldn �t answer the question
12 is They had such a run down house that nobody wuld buy it
If anyone finds the correct answer to number 2 I am, at this point, willing to donate a kidney!

No worries - By all means I �d like to help (he he)
No 8 & 12 fit - goodoooooo (Sorry I amended my post - I copied and pasted your answer and it didn�t fit, even -then I copied and pasted it off one of those forums and it did fit.)
So, I �m 1 down like you. I�ll donate the other kidney! |

How can my number 8 not fit? It works perfectly on mine! Stupid quiz! I googled the dentist question and all I got was a bunch of forums trying to figure out what answer the quiz wanted. I bet it �s a trick to stop me sleeping - they �re probably out to get me. Me, me me.
Ok, now I feel better. I �ve decided to set the test for homework for my CAE students on Monday. I �ll make them do it til they get 100% then I �ll tell you all the answer!!!!!

I think no 2 must have an error - no-one anywhere on this big wide web has the correct answer ... yeah yeah - stoopid quiz, but hey, VERY VERY VERY addictive
