The ones you didn’t get were:
#5 the number of planets (the former number I should say, as Pluto has been demoted) in our solar system.
24. and expression – It takes two to tango.
25. 76 trombones… is a song in the Music Man
26. I think the 8 great tomatoes is a line form a Hunt’s Tomato Sauce commercial.
28. 23 skiddoo is an old expression from the flapper days
29. For he’s a Jolly Good Fellow – Which nobody can deny (another old song)
32. 7 Deadly Sins – are things like Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Pride. etc.
33. 2.5 children in a typical American family – an expression reflective of the “average” American family. Obviously no one has half a child. it is merely a statistic.
Hope this cleared things up for you.
