Rules, in case you are new to this: DON'T READ THE THREAD BEFORE YOU POST!
Post your responses to the questions. When there have been 50 responses, I will give each response two points. If all 50 respondents have the same answer as you, you will get 100 points for that question. After 50 sets of responses have been posted, I will tabulate the results, declare the winner, and post the scoreboard. There are 12 questions and a maximum of 1200 possible points.
Format for your answers: You don't need to repeat the questions, but please number the answers.
(You'll note a certain theme to the following -- and because I couldn't decide which two to jettison, we're playing a full dozen questions).
If you don't know an answer, guess! If you pass, you're guaranteed to get zero points -- but if you guess and someone else matches your answer, you'll get points, whether the answer is "right" or not!
1. Name one of Santa’s reindeer.
2. Name one of the Seven Dwarfs.

Only the first 50 will count. I'm still scoring the other one, though, so probably won't score this till tomorrow. If someone else would like to do so, they'd be very welcome to.

Wolf Meister was kind enough to put everything into a spreadsheet for me. The only teeny problem is that I have absolutely zero Excel skills, so I have no idea what the "count these please" commands might be. If someone could give me a three-minute talk-through on that, I'll proceed.
