I got 16 right, and no idea which ones I missed, except the one that involved Australian rules football (of which I know nothing), and #19. As far as I could tell #19 had no correct answer. Since no one else seems stumped by it I obviously missed something, but I still can't see what.

Except my random guess on the football turned out to be correct, so I guess three of the things I thought I knew, I don't.

"the former use of ladder" is 7 -- the first "ladder" is word #7. "the latter use of foreman" is 13, the thirteenth word in the two sentences. Add those, get 20. Count up to the next prime number, 23. What's the problem?

I was counting letters for some bizarre reason. By coincidence, the example they give works out if you count letters by sentence (as opposed to across both sentences).
