I just squeak in at 10. I'm assuming that Keystone corps isn't a typo for Keystone Cops. If it is then my score goes up to 11.

Oh whoops! It was a typo. Thanks for pointing it out! Edited.

And well done on a score of 11. Which ones didn't you know if you don't mind me asking? :-)

1 (which I sort of half know), 5, 7 and 9 (though I know Whiskey Tango Foxtrot).

Seems so obvious now that you mention it! I like that one.
