Here's are the questions I made up for the YSA FHE last night. I used it as a stimulus to discuss some of the talks given by our GA's over the past weekend. Give it a try--I'll put the answers on tomorrow! BTW, I had a lot of fun researching and remembering these. One caveat for you sisters (Devin), some questions come from the Saturday PH session--but they really deserve to be included. Try to guess--or ask your significant other (Carl).
