    I looked at this and was like, 'this will be easy!' and then I saw number 20.

    Are they just drawn from the books, or are films/games etc included too?

    All book stuff, yeah. Though I think almost all of it is in the movies too.

    I just got 20. When you see them you wonder how in hell you've missed them.

    Edit: 19 is pretty easy too and then you get cocky and look at 14.

    got 11/20 so far, the remainder seem impossible.

    16/20 now.

    Back to 15, one was wrong..

    Fuck 1, 7, 8, 9 and 15.

    Back to 16

    18 now, 1 and 8

    19, number 1 has bent my mind.

    20/20

    15 so far, and no ideas for the remaining five.

    16 now. Crossed off the first one I missed.

    17, with the third one.
    18, with [snipped], because apparently that made it easy
    19... Really racking my brain here, but 15 isn't clicking with anything at all.

    This is going to be embarrassing when the answers are revealed and everything seems straightforward and obvious.

    I hadn't planned to compete but then I read people complaining about #20, glanced at it, and it's got to be the easiest one. Didn't even have to think. :p

    20 sure is that for me. I glanced at it and then came back 2 hours later and it is really obvious.

    And Thaumologist talking about 11 made it really obvious too.

    When 20 is revealed, I'm either going to be furious with myself or astonished at how nerdy all those saying it's easy are...

    Can confirm that 20 is the easiest.

    I got it at first glance, and I just have 11 in all.
