Smurfs: Three Apples High.

Dice: 5

Peanuts: Schroeder, which I keep wanting to write as Schrodinger, who MAAAAAYBE plays the piano

Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet eating her curds and whey.

State Capital: Crap. Uh... Olympia, Washington?

Shorthand Guy: Um. Edward Cursive?

Former Governor Presidents: I have no idea. 3!

McBurney incision: Appendectomy?

Currency Note: I would love for it to cost $1.25 to make a one-dollar bill, but I'm going to guess and say $.07.

Greek Alphabet: I have no idea. Since everyone else's guesses are likely to be Alpha or Omega, I am going with Theta. Just because.

Bomb Code Names: Fat Man and Little Boy.
