I wasn't sure what to call them.  You knew what I was talking about, nonetheless. Tongue

Your score is 5.

For the last question, here's a hint: think about rudimentary geography.

I think I got 3,4,5,6 & 9? is that correct?

I dont know about the last one... it is the furthest southern city in western Canada, that's all I can think of

Yes, that was what I had in mind, and yes, I realized that a large chunk of Ontario is below the 49th parallel... but you guys aren't on an island, so there. Tongue

Um, well Downtown is sort of an island- a man made island because of the canal.
