Looks like your formula is giving 27th and 28th place to the non-existent scores of '6' and '7.' i.e., it's expecting the scores to be consecutive and without gaps.

Question 2 - Results

2. Shakespeare's Fools
Name the Shakespeare play given the fool, knave, clown (or funny guy) and the text.

HAPPY FACE :O)
There were no wrong answers on this one. I took 2 different quotes from the same play, but only 1 of you picked up the second one.
I accepted the wrong spelling of A Midsummer's Night Dream (sic), but be careful next time.

Aww man, opera is a category most people aren't hot on but that I know a good bit about, so I was really trying for a singleton here. I thought the Hoffmann one would be the hardest one here, but either I misjudged or two other people had the same thought.

I also know a fair amount about opera, and (in my voice lessons) I have even sung several of the arias mentioned, including the Doll's Song. I too was hoping for a singleton on that one.
