4 columns: H7-H12-H13-H9
5 columns: H7-H12-H8-H13-H9
6 columns: H7-H12-H14-H15-H13-H9
7 columns: H7-H12-H14-H8-H15-H13-H9
8 columns: H7-H12-H14-H16-H17-H15-H13-H9
9 columns: H7-H12-H14-H16-H8-H17-H15-H13-H9
10 columns: H7-H12-H14-H16-H18-H19-H17-H15-H13-H9

.aDivQId_questionIdentifier .H12,

.aDivQId_questionIdentifier .H8,

.aDivQId_questionIdentifier .H13,

.aDivQId_questionIdentifier .H9 {font-size:12px}
