No! No sarcasm
I know I didn't take it seriously but I still found it fun. To be honest if I had taken it seriously I would have got about.. 5
Even if I could get all 20 right I think I'd still enjoy it more to come up with my own answers, I'm looking forward to the next one
EDIT: I would have got 9
