1-c, I have 2 black cats, double negative and all, one cancels the other out (ok, maybe I'm a bit superstitious),2-a 3-b 4-c 5-c 6-a 7-a 8-a 9-a 10-b. And I always wear my left sock inside out when I go to the casino. I don't know why but chalk it up to something odd. Can't wait to see the feedback on these!
