Oh yea, and if you can help it avoid other peoples answers.

1. FALL : AUTUMNAL :: SPRING : ?

2. ONE : MONO :: FEW : ?

3. LIFE : VITAL :: BIRTH : ?

4. X^2+Y^2=Z^2 : PYTHAGORAS :: X^n+Y^n = Z^n : ?

5. 24 HOURS : ROTATION :: 26,000 YEARS : ?

6. WATER : SWIMMER :: CAVE : ?

7. TAUGHT BY ANOTHER : PUPIL :: TAUGHT BY ONESELF : ?

8. GENERALIZED : LOCALIZED :: ANEMIA : ?

9. TEACHER : MENTOR :: BULLY : ?

10. * : ASTERISK :: 'e'ROTATED180DEGREES :

11. INDIA, AUSTRALIA, AFRICA, SOUTH AMERICA, ANTARCTICA : GONDWANALAND :: HORSE, ASS, ZEBRA : ?

12. FEAR OF STRANGERS : XENOPHOBE :: LOVE OF CATS : ?

13. TINTINNABULATION : ONOMATOPOEA :: BITTERSWEET : ?

14. BEND ONE'S KNEE TO : GENUFLECTION :: TURN ONE'S BACK ON : ?
Have any of these not been answered or been incorrectly answered so far? If so, which ones? I'm losing track...
