                    Well I'll be. I won even with 1 pt for a question. I guess Paavo Nuurmi ain't all that popular.

                    Questions likely put up tomorrow, since I have a day off from class.

                    How many repeat winners do we have for the contest? I know we have Shi and Kassi, but who else?

                      Gangerolf, I believe, has also won twice. Immortal Wombat has won three times.

                        OK, I confess…
                        but the answer seemed to fit perfectly with 5 questions, why not stretch it to fit them all (har, har).

                              Pop goes the minimum score? What? I didn't care if I got the lowest score--I believe "Large doses of analgesics" was a VERY accurate answer to all those questions
