However, I couldn't answer:

4) The act of covering a house or area in front of a house with toilet paper is

called...

Toilet papering

Rolling

TP'ing

I've never heard of this.

10)What do you call an easy class?

A crip course

A gut

A blow off

I have never heard of this, either, although "blowing off" means to pass wind

from the rear end.

12)What do you call something that is diagonal from you?

Kitty corner

Diagonal

Catty corner

I don't understand the question. It makes no sense.

13)What is the four wheeled contraption you push around your groceries in?

Buggy

Carriage

Shopping / grocery cart

"A shopping trolley" - doesn't appear in the answers.

14)You work out in...

Tennis shoes

Sneakers

Work out, presumably "exercise". This depends what exercise you are doing.

The probable best answer is "training shoes", or "trainers".

I wonder whether "marks" are awarded at 5% per question.

Interesting! My accent is about as close to American as Osama Bin Laden is as close to winning the nobel peace prize!
