Bored at work?

Ok, I got 16 without cheating, but got stuck at that point.

EDIT: I ended up with 20 correct, without cheating.
 
25.
didn't get 11, 14, 17, 29, 30, 31, 33. i keep wanting to say 33 is something, something mayan calendar...
 
I'm stuck at 20. I'm hoping a wave of smartness will come over me to figure out a few more.

I was thinking ... ... ... ... 'month calendar' for 33. Probably nothing close to it though.

I just figured out 11. You'll laugh at yourself when you get it.
 
24 in about ten minutes. I bet I could crank out two or three more if I spent another half hour staring at it. I'm impatient though, so I'm about ready to start googling (cheating).

And no, it's not a "Month Calendar" on 33. Not really any measurement at all.

EDIT: Up to 26 now. Still can't get 10, 14, 17, and 28-31. I think they're supposed to get harder as they go, though 32 would belong in the first five.
 
missing only 28, 30, 33. I totally guessed on 31 though. (still without cheating, although I used firefox's spelling help to help me on one)

If you really get stuck, pm me and I'll clue you in.
 
Just got 19. I had 16, and then got one that led to a couple others.

For some reason 31 is bugging me. I feel like I'm close, but can't figure it out. I'm thinking it's some sort of game (chess, checkers, cards) and something per opponent. I don't know... I could be way off.

EDIT: Just got 29 after writing the above post

Got to 26 and got stuck. Googled (cheated) the rest. Half of them were things I didn't even know in the first place.
 
I had 29 correct but was stuck on 28, and 33. I had half of their answers figured out, but couldn't think of the rest.

Good times. Off to something more unproductive.
 
I got them all except 30. Anyone know?
