  2. The answers are:

    1) Life begins at 40 (although 40 to life certainly works)
    2) Forgive and Forget
    3) Split Level
    4) Trail Mix (I'm not sure I buy winding trail, but it looks like you didn't really buy into it either)

  3. plural of rebus would be "rebi"? the latin -us is changed to -i for plurals. ie fungus->fungi, cactus->cacti etc.

    or maybe its rebuses, which simply sounds better

  4. Always -us to -i? Like in genus, genera? Oh, wait.

  5. I thought #4 was Trial and Error. Oh Well!
