1.) There's a 4th of July everywhere they use a gregorian calendar. I was in Ireland for the past 4th of July and it was mentioned on the radio almost as much as it would be in the USA.

2.) one

3.) all of them

4.) 6

5.) I have no clue, but probably.

6.) 70

7.) the 2 you took away

8.) If you take one now, 60 mins, if you wait 30 mins before taking one, 90

9.) 9

10.) ok, i cheated, none

11.) Meat

12.) 12

Tiltboy, I'm going to make a fool of myself and try to answer these.

1. Yes. It's on 4 July.

2. One a year (approximately - a more accurate answer would be about 0.9993 to allow for those born on 29 February).

3. I'm guessing one.

4. Three a side?

5. Only if it is possible for dead men to marry in California.

6. 70

7. The two you take away.

8. 60 minutes (from when you take the first)

9. 9

10. Ask Noah.

11. Meat.

12. 12

Um, no Number 8 is sixty minutes, sorry Charlie!

You take the first pill and that's when the time starts, secnd pill 30 minutes later, then final pill 30 minutes later. That equals sixty minutes.
