Remember the one with first letters and numbers?
There's a new one.
ETA: Got them all now (thanks to dougs and djonma for the hints).

Eighteen is easy.
Write an oriental verse.
Enjoy the summer.

workweb sense blocks the loink. *sad*

I'm up to 13 myself.

I also wouldn't class 10 as common knowledge, and am trying to think of something that's the only seven-sided something in the world.

[nina321.livejournal.com]

am I spelling dalmations wrong, or is there 101 of something else beginning with d?

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Yes, you are spelling it wrong. :o)

[nina321.livejournal.com]

ah bugger

[nina321.livejournal.com]

damn you, this is annoying me now.
Stuck on 17, 19, 23 and 24.

[crocodilewings.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I'm so objecting to the finickity pedantry on the answer to #4. There are two of them! It's plural!

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

That annoyed me, too.
However, you could argue that the name is the plural already (it's not used in the singular, anyway) and yes, there are two but not in the same year.

[crocodilewings.livejournal.com]

Uh...are we talking about the same number 4?

Anyway, I've now got all of them apart from 19, and I'm beginning to doubt that there's anything in the world beginning with H which is unique for having seven sides.

brainmeats muttered heptagram at me but there are two types so pooey to me.

[crocodilewings.livejournal.com]

Having just discovered what it is by some mild spoilerage, I certainly wouldn't class it as common knowledge.

24 is clearly Short Welsh Men (Shoot First!)

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Hahaha!

[twentypence.livejournal.com]

Number 24: This time last year the number would be 5.

Got it now thanks to djonma but I've screened the comment.
