All of you answers are correct apart from a spelling mistake on one of them...however the M is close to the N, so I`ll let you off lol
You thought I`d get no. 27 right and yes I thought I should too, but we put UNITED NATIONS...what plonkers we all are lol
As for this one 21. Patronymic includes 9th (8) SURINAME ....You weren`t sure what the 9th was for. I is the 9th letter of the alphabet.
Well done....I`ll try and find another one for you
