The word "pound" for the symbol is incorrect in this uasge; it is an
"octothorpe".
However, the ITU-T (the group 'officially" in charge of this stuff and their
spec is E.161 3.2.2) refers to the symbols respectively as "star" and
"square". I think the Europeans just didn't like the USA origin of
"octothorpe".
I got all 20 correct. Please send help as soon as possible . . .
