-----------------

I will correct spelling, but that's all. An answer of "Brad Pitt" will differ from "B. Pitt", "Pitt" and "Mr. Pitt". "Bread Pitt" will be corrected provided it is obvious what you meant. Alternate, but other correct spellings are considered different. Plurals ARE different. It is my advice that you do not use plurals, but that is up to you.

Please don't use punctuation characters in your submissions, as I have to strip these all out afterwards. Any dashes or hyphens will be replaced by a single space even if not grammatically correct. Pretty much any others will just be removed.

I excluded Christmas on question 11 because of question 2. I tried to make the questions quite varied.

Quick question, I probably just wasted about two hours but, did we have to go in alphebetical order with these answers or were you just trying to show us the format for our pm's

[MatthewV]

He was just showing the format. Alphabetical order really won't matter the way he is doing things.

[Amb]

As he said

[Amb]

I have 2 entries so far, with 2 more indicating interest. This post serves more as a bump.

[DF*]

I am /indicating. Please give me a bit of notice when to start panicking about a deadline.

Does the answer "a cat" differ from "cat"?

[Amb]

Yes, "A cat" and "Cat" are different. I highly recommend the latter as a good style of writing.

In so far:
Amb
HitchHiker
Lexprod

and one other * have to go look up *

[Amb]

Ive marked as 7 in, but 3 of those are yet to be received by me. Will send some invites round on the weekend

I hope I don't become as fascinated as Amb with Sheep if I move to New Zealand...

[Amb]

I'll set a deadline of 1 week from now. But given my likelihood of being busy this time next week, it may get extended slightly.

[Dented Ford]

Formulating! And it's not even Friday!
Plus I might have roped in some other ovine creatures.

[Amb]

Thanks for entries. Its going to probably take me 48 hours to tabulate. Late entries welcome.

[aMB*]

I am collating the results, and currently yelling at the script which fails on my answers. Once I see what a moron I am being, I'll have the results up.

[Amb]

Results are ready. The script broke when someone only submitted 14/15 questions - so I will give that person 48 hours to enter.

[Amb]

I have a late entry coming in as well - Still welcome

Let me know of spelling mistakes I missed.

It was really interesting, despite trying to have everyone send in singulars as plurals would be different, how many people send in plurals anyway.

I will do another link in a few days combining all the plurals to see what that does. Just as a curiousity.

[Dented Ford]

2) Name Five Items Associated With Christmas Day, Or The Period Leading Up To It.:

[MatthewV]

Yeah! I broke Amb's script.

[Quailman]

You guys are so ethnocentric. Matthew, John, James and William scored, but not Juan or Pedro. And you'll celebrate Ramadan and Halloween, but not Cinco de Mayo or St. Patrick's Day (or Passover or Kwanzaa). What do people drink on those last two anyway?

Congrats to Hitchhiker who won in spite of ringing up four black sheep on the scifi character one. Perhaps she should have named a famous hitchhiker.

[MNOWAX]

HEY! i think this game is rigged! how many black sheep did he have? 42?

[Cordelia]

I protest. Bananas do not grow on trees.

[Amb*]

UM, you robbed yourself - of about 45 points on the fruit question.

My favourite answers were Terrorist for the exploding things, and Grapes for what grows on trees. Bananas do grow on 'Banana Trees' even if technically they arent trees. Grapes however....

I was amazed Mohammed didnt get more replies. The most common boys name of all.

[MatthewV]

And the notion that Russia's flag has stars!

[Hitchhiker]

Yeah, I shoulda said Arthur Dent... (She said sheepishly.)

[MNOWAX]

[Amb]

I missed "Leif Erikkson[ZTK], Leif Erikson[HHH]," so these two players will both gain 2 points.
