I can guess at 1-4, but 5 leaves me completely baffled.

I don't think "begging the question" is right for #1, but then I don't think my answer is either. It's sort of embarrassing, since I have an MA in philosophy! (Of course, that was 30 years ago. :D)

I'm obviously in the minority on #2, but I'll stick with my answer there.

Umm?
I've read some of the cards when maharetr brought them out a few weeks back. Why were those cards so much easier?
Actually, from memory, the cards I looked at were mostly words rather than phrases.
