Part of me wants to say two for 15-17 and 19, but I know that's just me talking weird. IT'S ONE FOR ALL OF THEM, RIGHT?

There is no right answer! It's WHATEVER YOUR HEART TELLS YOU.

BUT WHAT IF MY HEART TELLS ME THE ANSWER IS 42?

That would seem a bit high, I must admit :D And yet, somehow awesome.

ohhkay, I had one for all but 15, 16, 17 and 19 - those had two syllables. I'm also a little tipsy, so ... who knows. =D
