pure nerve.

[Efrem Mallach]

One line of reasoning, proven faulty more than once, suggests that either 8 or 15 is likely to be correct or they would have been combined. Another line of reasoning suggests that the first line of reasoning is a crock of s**t. And the same [il]logic, with a bit more of a stretch, could also apply to 1 and 11.

I'll put a foot in both camps (there's a mixed metaphor for you!) and vote for 1 and 8.
