Very kind indeed, Greg! I'll have to make the questions extra-eccentric now

You don't have to pay, quiz is for free.

The fish-slap is for free, too! There is no entry fee, but there may be an exit penalty.

Left column - sum of the quiz part, far right - totals. Peng was calcualted separately, as he came late.

These are not final results, they need rechecking.

Awesome Borek!

And a huge thanks to A_B for keeping track of scores!

 

[Ken Natton]

Great job Borek, thanks. What your scoring table reflects is exactly what I suspected. Even if you ignored the business of -2 for a wrong guess, Kurdt easily supplied the most right answers. He was a clear winner. Well done Kurdt.

 

[Hootenanny]

Congratulations to Kurdt for a well deserved victory!

Many thanks to Borek, Evo & A_B without whom we would have been in a complete mess with the scoring system!

 

[Kurdt]

I'll donate the membership to the next person in the quiz that isn't already gold.

 

[Evo]

Thank you Hoot for doing the quiz!

Congratulations Kurdt!

 

[micromass]

Thanks a lot Hoot, AB, Borek, Evo for a wonderful evening!

And congratz Kurdt!

This is tricky. If following results to the letter, second was Ivan - who was kidnapped by his family just after giving wrong answer to the first question.

I believe we decided that people that didn't participate for the entire quiz weren't eligible to win.

Perhaps kurdt would like to award A_B since they participated for the entire quiz, and was the only one of us that was 100% accurate on the scores! They, I believe, also are the next in line of scores for full participation anyway.

Aww, I just read some of the quiz transcript. You guys were waiting for me? That's so sweet! Sorry I didn't make it, I had to take my mom to the ER because she got bit by a bug she was allergic to. I was getting in the car with her at exactly quiz start, I was so sad!

Oh no! Is she ok?

 

[ArcanaNoir]

Oh no! Is she ok?

Yeah, she's fine. It wasn't an anaphylactic shock type allergy, just that she'd get puffy over a large area and super itchy and it could get complicated. But since we went in right away she just got a shot and she was fine. Some timing. I should have made her wait an hour :P

I'm sure you can all sort yourselves out as to who is eligible for the free contributor status.

Sorry I wasn't able to make it to chat this time. I wouldn't mind contributing a GOLD membership to someone. Just let me know how and I'll submit a paypal payment.
