TD 383 - Numbers Game (Final results)
This TD is called "Numbers Game" and the questions have at least a loose connection to the numbers of certain players from my favorite MLB, NHL and NFL franchises.
Rules/Notes
1) Lowest point total wins; your score for each question is equal to the total number of players submitting that same answer
2) You may use one drop and take zero points for that question
3) You may elect to take the sheep answer for one question
4) There is no bonus for not using the "drop" or "sheep", so you probably want to take the former and get a zero for one question
5) Wrong responses are the higher of either +10 points or the "sheep" answer +3
6) All answers are due by 10:47 AM Central time on Tuesday, June 12, 2018
7) Submit answers via this Google form or PM

For #3, I tried to think of anybody who ran as a Republican or Democrat in the primaries, lost, then subsequently ran as an independent or third party. I couldn't think of anybody, but it may have been risky anyway with the specific set of 12 possible answers given.
