A. Read all the rules
B. Post your answers before reading the thread
C. Post your answers like this:
- Answer
- Answer
etc
Do not repeat the questions, do not add extraneous fluff amongst your answers.
C. Scoring - Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth 100 points divided by the number of entrants.
D. The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or at 10 AM Central on 3/20/08 whichever comes first. (I won’t be able to score until early Thursday morning, or maybe late Wednesday night.)
E. The penalty. See rule C, the first. If you fail to post answers correctly causing me extra work in the scoring, you get the honor of incurring a penalty. That penalty is 10% of your final point total. I only do this with the goal of making sure people read the rules.

this really should be changed to read:
“Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth *2 points times * the number of entrants who have that answer”
therefore the max points per answer is 100

Not complaining, just hedging my bets against another middle of the pack showing.
