Hi Jonno, the answer to question number two is incorrect. The correct answer is ... everybody has only one actual birthday, all the rest are just celebrations.

Not too bad, I'm surprised I have power, the hurricane is now a tropical storm, but it's still moving close to me. They usually don't get this high up.
