I was under impression that question 3 is a quote of S.J. 'Skid' Simon but he is not in the list. 
here it is, page 7:

"Tooning" TOON ing
This was overheard recently--we all as partnerships arrived at game or slam or part score's all DOOMED. however miracle's occur and all somehow miracleously
we land an impossible contract.mainly because the defense got it wrong,
Hence TOON "Tricks out of nowhere" and as an aside i hate partners that type in well done p (WDP)
so happy tooning all----it does happen

I agree with Hanoi about the first one.

I got #3 wrong - random guess it seems since the original appears to be Skid Simon and I had just purchased a second hand copy of his book today in book sale - not sure why since I already have at least one copy.
And #1 for reasons similar to Hanoi.
Not sure which other one I got wrong now.

dunno how to play 4 card majors - JLOGIC
True but I know Standard American and what better reason could I have for playing Precision? - Hideous Hog

Chip and I together got 80%, but I would have gotten 3 right, and I knew to guess on 1 because of the comments, but guessed wrong :-). Funny, I hadn't heard any of the quotes and neither had Chip, but most of them just sounded like the person who said them
Jan Martel, who should probably state that she is not speaking on behalf of the USBF, the ACBL, the WBF Systems Committee, or any member of any Systems Committee or Laws Commission.

I would bet a good money that Hamman said "If 3NT is viable option then bid it" - but I guess I would be wrong
