I'm confused by what you mean by "horizontal symmetry". Do you mean letters like M that can be folded horizontally, or do you mean letters like E that have a horizontal line of symmetry?

147. I think part of the answer is COOKBOOK but I can't figure out the rest of it.

The last five are right, except the question about the countries. It is not a bartending competition, but another competition.
Aang/Avatar is right.
Horizontal symmetry is like the word COOKBOOK (which is right). You could draw a horizontal line through the middle of the world, and it would fold over on that line.

For 129, what birthstones are you using? Many months have several.

Is it 2 syllables for 129?

2 syllables is right. Garnet, amethyst, diamond, emerald, moonstone, ruby, sapphire, opal, topaz, and turquoise all have 2 syllables while aquamarine and peridot have more than 2.
Miss Universe is also right for 152.
Got a few more questions written down, should be up by the end of the day.

How do YOU pronounce amethyst? I pronounce it "am-eh-thist". 3 syllables?
And some people say "em-er-ald", not just "em-rald", and some people say "die-uh-mund", not just "die-mund". Am I missing something?
I see ruby, turquoise, sapphire, and all those have only 2.... The others I'm not so sure about.

I agree with the pitchfork-wieding mob that emerald, diamond, and amethyst all have three syllables. Maybe diamond and emerald (if one employs a Florida redneck accent) can have two. Maybe. But there's no way on God's green Earth that amethyst has two syllables. There can't possibly be a dialect or accent that doesn't pronounce that middle "e". AMM-THIST? That can only be pronounced with a high degree of effort and surely is never said that way naturally.

You're welcome, LaVey. Florida. Now that has two syllables.

The universe where the M followed by the TH is nearly impossible to pronounce without looking like a baby spitting out pea-flavored Gerber.
