There seems to be a lot of internet confusion on the Amino acids one. I did find this though:

http://www.bionewsonline.com/e/what_is_amino_acid.htm
proline is technically an imino rather than an amino. So I might go with that.

(Thanks to all the answers so far!)

We just need 7 and 9 for Logos now; 6, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21, 25 for nerdy pursuits; and 5, 13, 20, 24, 25 for games. I got all the movies quotes, yay!

Thanks for all your help guys :)

Unfortunately I was really busy on the final two days, and didn't even have enough time to answer many questions of my own, let alone look here as well :(

Anyway if any of you are really interested in an answer you were hankering after, then look here:
