On questions like this, I just type out the whole answer to avoid a typo. For example, on this on I said "Jaguars-South Alabama" and didn't bother with the letter.

No rush. I mean, actually, if you just want to call the game and let the current rankings stand...

Question 10: Name a person who was the Vice Presidential candidate on a ticket that lost a Presidential Election between 1948 and 2012. Third party VP candidates are acceptable answers if the corresponding candidate for President received at least one electoral vote. All answers must be the person who was the VP candidate on Election Day. (19 possible answers)

You all seem to THINK she is the most popular...but is she? Or is it...her?? Also, I chose 1948 as the starting point for a reason. A couple of you did cash in on that famous VP candidate.

It will hurt my score, but I should correct you here: Sarah Palin was my answer; John Edwards was my sheep guess.

Question 11: Name one of the twelve states with the LOWEST percentage population of Native Americans per the data provided by the 2010 census. The District of Columbia is not an acceptable answer. (12 possible answers)

And now for the question I regret asking you. In hindsight, there was very little TOM on this one if you didn't somehow already know one of the answers. This was the last question I wrote for the TD and I was a bit rushed to get questions posted. I originally was going to ask for one of the Five Civilized Tribes or one of the tribes of the Iroquois confederation. Then it turned into...this. Again, you have my apologies.

I had no idea where to go on this one. Hawaii seemed like the only one that was obvious, so I went with it and chose it for my sheep guess.

Question 12: Give the name of a character that appears on the original theatrical release poster for any one of the following Pixar movies listed below. The original theatrical release posters I am using are the ones found at each movie’s Wikipedia page. (22 possible answers)

As I saw it, there were two strategies to answering this question. Do you pick a "safe" answer and select one of the main characters for the listed movies, or do you take a chance that one of the supporting characters is on the poster? With 22 possible choices, it was reasonable to assume that there were quite a few supporting characters available.

As for your sheep guesses, many of you assumed that the contestants would select strategy 'A'.

I think this is the best I've ever done in a TD. I want all TDs to have bonuses for guessing the sheep, because apparently that's where I'm a Viking.

I didn't guess a single sheep, but then again, I only hit one of the sheep, so I'm not complaining.

Thank you one and all for putting up with my snail's pace of a reveal. I hope it doesn't dissuade anybody from entering a future game. These past three work weeks have kicked my butt because of an activity that was planned far in advance, but that I neglected to account for when I requested this TD date back in May. Also, I really enjoyed the Guess the Sheep format but an unforeseen consequence was that it doubled the amount of tallying I had to do and the attendant "error rate" I incurred in performing the calculations. A Great Big Special Thanks to Vermonter for letting me use his brand new TD Tracker. It's pretty slick, y'all. I highly recommend it for any and all future hosts.

Enough of the preamble -- on to the awards!

The first prize will be conferred upon the contestants who showed the greatest acumen in guessing the sheep answer. As I promised in my intial post, I hereby award a Diploma in Sheepology to...

All of them hit four sheep guesses. Congratulations!

And Sarah, kick some butt next week.
