Dusty Chalk: 10.5
Hedley Lamar: 7
Diggity Dawg: 5
Elvis Fu: 4
PopTodd: 2.3
Finche Platte: 1
Loogar: 1, but not the 1 you'd think he'd get

Radcliffe, my response is stuck in my "Outbox" and won't send for some reason--is your "Inbox" full?

Everyone else, keep 'em coming. The mix that comes out of this will contain the answers.

Got it. Billz, it looks like you forgot to count my answer to # 13. And I only mention it because HideousLump, Psychlone, and FT have yet to play.

I think I counted it in the final tally, but didn't score it in the body of the text. I'm not good at the numbers thing, even though I do math/spreadsheet work for living. Scary inn't :D

Psychlone · **Posted:** Mon Oct 17, 2005 8:10 pm

I'll have some answers tomorrow, just have to double check a few things at home.

You should switch to pharmacology, you'd be very popular.

This quiz made me its bitch.

People actually know these? E gads.

Psychlone · **Posted:** Tue Oct 18, 2005 7:23 pm

Submitted my answers.

Is this going to be a regular thing? I have some fiendish trivia I could make a quiz out of. Maybe we can rotate and have a different person do 20 questions each week.

FT · **Posted:** Wed Oct 19, 2005 1:19 am

This is definitely the hardest one yet. Most of my answers were more educated guesses than actual knowledge.
