11111 The 1 for you, 1 for me, 1 for him and 1 for she with an extra 1 just in case contest

You only hit 11111 once :)


Rules: You must post your answers, I will give you a total of how many correct you have, I will not say which ones are correct or not. All unanswered questions will be counted as wrong and a point subtracted. There are 14 questions, 2 with 2 parts for a total of 16 points. One tie breaker question is worth 1 point. The tiebreaker question does not come into play unless there is a tie. A tie is defined as 2 posts with 2 different correct sets of answers* or 2 posts with all correct answers posted within one minute of each other. If there is still a tie then a coin flip will determine the winner. You must score at least 12 points to win. If there is no winner then the prize will roll over to the next contest. You can guess up to 4 times per day.

*Example: BOTL #1 gets questions 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 & 11correct while BOTL #2 gets questions 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,13 & 14 correct. Both have 12 points with 2 different sets of answers.
