OK. I keep beeing intrigued by this quiz.
Mabbogtebby's nr. 4. and 5.
I got some good help for this one and I don't know if it is completely right.
4. I would say: b is d turned backwards (but maybe MadDog was in his cups here?)Is it : b is drunken d?
5. : or should that be 'd' is 'b' backwards.
BTW I'm looking for the Gallant Ted wrap up paper everywhere , but all I can get is paper with the kidnapped and commercialized Pooh-Pooh.

Mabbog is allus reversing his b's and d's. Comes from not minding his q's and p's.

Faldage, I admire you for your clean, compact answers, but q's and p's
are like MDT 's b's and d's to me.

Having worked with children with dyslexia, I have a different insight into the b/d p/q business. Perhaps the expression "mind your p's and q's" had something to do with typesetting, and being wary of easily comfused letters.
Oh qooq! A qox uqon it.

Mabbogtebby! I do perfectly well understand what you say and you always greatly amuse me. Honest.
I just don't understand all these WIKIPEDIAPHILES here that don't want to say "mind your pints and quarters" , which is what I perfectly understand beeing of general good breeding myself.
I can't understand how a cute Christmas doggy that stole Santa's hood can give such a cold link for an answer in stead of 4
words.
And I appreciate all the trouble you took to make those quizzy lines
+ the effort to mix up the b's and the d's.
Here's to you and your Bear friends. A Free round!
(It's that all these Wikipedestrians have gotten so lazy they can't solve all of your riddles and don't want to say so.)

But of course the most interesting of all = NR. 24
I got one right in all! A MadDog's one , so , classified now among the bony fido total genusses of this earth.
I already knew that! Modesty is my middle name. X X X
