2) You may use one drop and take zero points for that question
3) You may elect to take the sheep answer for two questions
4) There will be a BONUS of (-4) for anyone who gives 11 correct answers and does not use either their "drop" or "sheep"
5) Wrong responses are the higher of either +10 points or the "sheep" answer +3
6) All answers are due by 8:00 AM CT on Tuesday, December 5, 2017
7) Submit answers via this Google form or PM

BONUS Round (No points added for incorrect answers - you will just receive a zero for that question.)

12 & 13. "Tailor" Made: Did any of those questions hit your "wheelhouse"? Here's a chance to "choose your adventure". Select up to two questions (one from #1-5 and one from #7-11) that you did not "drop" before and give at least six answers (see "Additional BONUS" section below) besides the one you used above. If all answers are correct, you will receive a bonus of (-2) for that question.

Additional BONUS [added to the (-2) mentioned above]: The people with the most and second most correct answers (without any errors) for each question will receive an extra (-3) and (-1), respectively. If two are tied for the most, the bonus will be (-2) for each, if three or more are tied for first (or any amount tied for second) they will all receive (-1).

[Example 1: On question #1, two people submit eight correct answers each - they would get a bonus of (-2).]
[Example 2: On question #3, one person gets ten correct answers, another has eight and nobody else has more than six - the top person gets (-3) and second place gets (-1).]
[Example 3: Three people submit seven correct answers for question #11 - each would receive a bonus of (-1).]

On the form, use #12 to answer a question from 1-5 and #13 for questions from 7-11.

So have I. I just don't know which question I got wrong yet. :) I suppose I could research things now that I've submitted my answers.
