And in FIRST PLACE with 650 points,TERRY WIEGERT! Terry also got nine out of ten questions in last week's quiz!



The Rules of the Game:

• You can use any resource to find your answers: Google, Wikipedia, books, magazines, crystal balls, bribes ... it’s all good to me. Especially the bribes part.

• Points are scored on a pari-mutuel basis. Each question is worth 100 points, divided by the number of correct answers for that question (rounded up).
  
  
• Do not post your answers here to the comment section of this blog! People will steal your answers and laugh at you. EMAIL your answers to me at vigilante407@gmail.com. Please make sure you number your answers correctly to correspond with the questions. Also, please send all your answers together in one email! (Otherwise, only the answers in the first email I get will count.)
  
  
• You do not have to answer ALL the questions to enter. Feel free to answer as many as you know or just guess. You never know when you’ll pull the proverbial flying monkey out yer butt and get it right!
  
  
• By the way, if you want to find out the answers, you’ve got to enter. The answers will be emailed to everyone who enters after the contest is over.
  The contest will end in on November 18th, 2010 at 11:59pm.
