I cannot believe HOW far off I was on number one! Clearly this paint brush thing didn't catch on for a number of years, given the fact that they were using quills in the 18th century. (this is what I based my answer on)
35 miles is astounding!
I was at least close on number 3 - I knew the way my students go through them that I should have guessed higher - - - - not too far off on number 2 (my kids just eat them off - - - ) and 35 miles is a long way!!!!! Cool - thanks!
