Instructions: For each definition supply the term in the box provided. Your reply is monitored by the "Answer Ghost."

• If the Answer Ghost does not like what you have filled in, he will erase it. (The Answer Ghost does care about capital letters.)
• If you get stuck, you can click in an "Uncle Box," and the answer will appear briefly.
  Of course you will feel somewhat embarrassed at having had to "cry uncle."
• If you use the "Uncle Box" too much, the Answer Ghost will turn the page yellow and call you a "cry baby" in the comment box at the end.
  You will, of course, experience feelings of shame and inadequacy.
• If you succeed in filling in all the boxes without being called a cry baby, the background color will change to show that the Answer Ghost is tickled pink. He will even say so in the comment box.
  Naturally, you will experience pride and joy.
• Once the Answer Ghost brands you a cry baby, he will never be tickled pink with you unless you hit "Reset" and start again.
• The results are instantaneous and are reported to nobody but you.
