Well, I tried to solve it but I'm not sure about questions 4 and 5.
Isn´t there a way of "hiding" our colleagues´answers? I reckon there´s no point in answering the questions after you "peep" them.
Well, first things first.
Ana Lucia, I will award medals to correct answers, no matter if they are tardy ones or not. Those who come up with the right answers first will be awarded more medals, though. The aim here is to stimulate both participation and fun competition, which in turn are to provide us all with some exposure to language material that will build skills for the CPE.
As for the answers, both Carol and Diogo still need to reconsider numbers 5 and 8. There are cases in which only one of you is correct. So, until any contributor comes up with the right anwers for all numbers I'm not going to state who the medalists are.
In the meantime, Y'all keep on blogging! Thank y'all very much for your active participation and contribution!

So far, no one has come up with all the right answers...
Iasmin, You're close! You managed to be 75% correct!
I see many shiny ones on the way!!!
Keep on blogging, y'all!
OK! Let me help you with this one too. The only numbers no one has been able to answer correctly are:
4 and 8 .
One way or another, at least one of you has been able to come up with the right answers to the other numbers. I will award five medals to the first to come up with all the right answers, plus one medal in adition for any attempt!!
Go for it, guys!!
Cheers,
Levi
