Each correct answer will have a score, and the highest scorer will be the WINNER! If there is tie for first place, I will decide based on how quickly the answers were sent to me. SO TIME MATTERS AND YOU MUST SEND ANSWER AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE! Send your answers to lutorianis@gmail.com. Do NOT post your answers on the Main List otherwise you will be immediately disqualified from the game.
