TWENTY QUESTIONS

A logic puzzle by Don Woods

Instructions:

Answer all 20 questions (each with a letter from A to E).
Wherever a question refers to an answer or answers, it means your answers, not some hypothetical "best" or "right" answers.
Your score is the number of questions whose answers are correct.
Your goal is to achieve as high a score as possible.
