Answer: R

There are 26 letters in the English alphabet, and the eighteenth letter of the English alphabet is R. The English alphabet is considered to be one of the hardest language alphabets around. Fun fact: there are 24 letters in the Greek alphabet!

2. Which of these numbers is a prime number?

4. If somebody celebrated their 33rd birthday in 2015, in what year were they born?

Answer: 1982

If someone turned 33 in 2015, that would mean they were born in 1982. A way to figure this is to subtract 33 from 2015, which gives you 1982.
