Cranium Calendar, Volume III

As with the first two editions, there are a bunch of questions from my calendar, and the answers are all found below the end of the questions. :)

March 2 : Punchlist : There are ten countries with a four-letter name. How many can you name? (I was definitely struggling on this one for some reason. My brain just wasn't in geography mode, I guess)
March 3 : zelpuz : ATE DRY BED (hint: infant toy) (I got it)
March 4 : polygraph : In a game of Monopoly, the odds of landing on Illinois Avenue are greater than those of landing on Boardwalk. (got it right, and if you missed it, I don't want to know)
March 5 : starstruck : breakfast, Sabrina, UNICEF (got it)
March 9 : blankout : N_R_ _ _ _ R_ _ M_ (hint: tot tale) (realllllllly easy)
March 10 : factoid : If seven cars are parked bumper-to-bumper, how many bumpers are touching? (I missed this one, probably because I thought about it too quickly)
March 12 : matchbatch. LHR, LGA, CDG, YYZ, IAD, LAX to match with Washington DC, Paris, New York, London, Los Angeles, Toronto (got it, but had to get YYZ by default of what was left)
March 14/15 : turbo factoid : (not sure if I've done one of these before for you, so basically all it means is that you have to get all three answers in the amount of time as the normal factoid).

March 18 : odd couple : Stopwatch; Sheetrock; Hackey Sack; Emery Board; Thermos (hint: trademarks) (got it)

March 24 : blankout : H_ _ _ T_ _ _ (hint: lunar beach shrinker) (got it)
