-4. Where is the highest non-Asian mountain, and what is its name?
-5. It’s a Studebaker compact model or a small terrestrial bird with an extravagant song and display flight.

I change all my passwords to "incorrect". So whenever I forget, it says, "your password is incorrect".

Good answers! wave

Other possible answers for #6 are eggplant, tomatoes and tomatillos

And my goofs on the logo puzzle made me take a closer look at this one. Esube answered #7, not 4, so #4 is back up for grabs. crazy

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.
