	Interesting idea and some of them work well, some of them however, vice presidents for example, are much more ambiguous. As far as I can find, Christmas eve is not a holiday, I can't say I have ever heard Augustus referred to as that, typically Augustus Caesar or just Octavian and there is probably no need to include Van Pelt in the clue, anyone who has a chance will recognize the names Lucy and Linus. Deviations is misspelled and of course, Seinfeld fans will be disappointed that you dont accept 'that other guy' for the tenor. As for style, the middle column seems very squished, I would give it 5 or 10% from the 3rd column.

	Yeah, some answers are too ambiguous. I tried RC for Coke/Pepsi and French Stewart for Connery/Reynolds (also appeared with those two on SNLCJ). Most were too difficult, I gave up after four.

	I thought most of them worked. I knew the group of a lot that I couldn't answer. I just found the Japanese magazine a little arbitrary.

	Some of these are impossible but good idea.

	I'm pretty sure Tetris doesn't belong to Nintendo. In fact I'm almost positive.

	John Adams and Thomas Jefferson are two presidents who famously died on July 4. One other president, James Monroe, less famously passed away on July 4. This should be an acceptable answer.
