    I got 20. I think #12 is wrong. Isn’t there 2-13 plus the uhf channel on the knob?

    20 here!

    #12 was how many VHF channels were there. That does not include the UHF channels, of which there are 71 channels: 14-83. However, channels 70-83 are no longer assigned for TV use.

    Short answer, 12 VHF channels.

    I got 19 but the answer to # 15 is incorrect. There are 10 sides to a stop sign, they didn’t include FRONT and BACK in the answer.

    I ended up with 22 right. That one made you use your brain just a little too much. some questions were tricky…but most were common sense to me I guess…
