It was 800. Well done on guessing the answer. Basic maths would have got you there sooner though.

Yes it's somewhere in that range. We know 7 and 8 are wrong and we can probably rule out 1 - 3.

No man I'm sure it's 14. Two quatrains one sextet.

Titanic is definitely lower. It is under 2000, including Leo and Billy Zane, but I've no idea how many.

by **seanmichaels** Thu 23 Oct 2014, 3:04 pm

i used to know the periodic table. a-level chemistry.

There's definitely elements in the hundreds but not many. I'll go 110. ill google after this guess.

2.) Sprung from cages out on highway 9, Chrome wheeled, fuel injected,and steppin' out over the line

3.) In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey. Butane in my veins so I'm out to cut the junkie

4.)[Her:] One can wish upon a star
[Him:] Two can make that wish come true, yeah
[Her:] One can stand alone in the dark
[Him:] Two can make the light shine through

5.) So wouldn't you like to come with me? Surfin' the sun as it starts to rise. Woah, your gravity's makin' me dizzy
