I'd fare just slightly better in Europe. Fortunately for me it doesn't specify "Two or more nice cars" or "Good Champagne in the fridge" and I'm subbing Patriots season tix for Premier League one.

With some creative license, I'm at 34.5% (10/29) on the American list, 35.9% (14/39) on the European one.
