Will a familiarity with American cultural references help here ?
Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?

Will a familiarity with American cultural references help here ? No ... kinda ... not really. Not in the way you mean. There may even be a very slight advantage to being British, but not much of one. Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

And 5 as well now...the precise theme will probably depend on the other two.

No. 3 has fallen - which is another clue for others....

And finally got them all - though No.2 was slightly sneaky, in that you have to slightly re-think the theme - though not much.

substitution puzzle, or something else? Based on vimsey's responses, it is something else.
Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846) History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. Martin Luther King If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions? Scott Adams

Right structure, but the wrong theme.
