  4. Which token did you choose when you played Monopoly?
  5. If you could create a national holiday, what or who would you celebrate?

  7. What songs did you wear out on your first record player?
  8. How many times do you let your phone ring before you answer it?
  9. What sort of pet would you adopt if you were a private eye?
  10. What kind of flower would you name after your grandmother?
