#1 I was thinking about the USA, and was wondering if there was a brand name TWIAT?

Sorry, that's not an adjective either is it?

#5 Its Brazil.
Brazil, B+2=D = Drazil. backwards it spells Lizard.

Numbers 4 and 5 are now answered.

Even though TWAIT isn't the right answer, it could be, if it was a brand name. To make it more specific, the country is European, and the head-of-state really does not rule over his country.

6. What are the only U.S. presidents whose last names begin and end with the same letter?

7. Excluding countries that begin and end with the letter "A"...

What is the only 1 word country that begins and ends with the same letter?
Only 2 word country?
Only 3 word country?
ONLY 4 WORD COUNTRY?
ONLY 5 WORD COUNTRY?!?

#7 How about:

1 word - Seychelles or Tibet
2 words - Solomon Islands
3 words - Central African Republic
4 words - Saint Kitts and Nevis

I can't get 5 words though.

#6 is right. #7 is almost all right. Tibet is trying to become its own country, but still have to work with China. Hint for the 5-word, it starts with "Saint".

8. I have been thinking about what I want for Christmas, and since I'm in the mood for receiving calling birds and drummers, I asked my true love what she'd give to me. But this economy is holding everyone back. But she said I can only have items that have the same vowel throughout the gift (like "geese", the noun, not the adjective "a-laying") So, what should I be expecting on December 25th?

All of #7 is finished.

Australia is not accepted because these countries do not start with the letter "A". Besides Afghanistan and Azerbaijan, all of the other "A" countries end with "A".

Albania
Algeria
Andorra
Angola
Antigua and Barbuda
Argentina
Armenia
Australia
Austria

And Burkina Faso starts with a "B" and ends with a "O".

9. Name something you would see in many shopping malls. Take out the middle letter, which happens to be an "A", and you get a word associated with the Christmas season. What are they?

10. Take a word that describes Matahma Gandhi. Remove the second letter, and you get an item that Dick Cheney uses. What are the words?
