Where did the penultimate question on your rundown above come from?  I did not find it on the "official" game page?  The question about other teams being at the pit stop at the same time. Are you giving out 15 points for an imaginary question and answer?

Yep, I didn't see that one, either.

And mswood, one more thing: Thanks a ton for that 25 point question! All but 6 people got it and one of those 6 was peach! :yess:
I was one of the others, damn it.

Nope it s not being scored.

I make the questions up and then transfer them to the actual game, and just like last week, it appears I skipped one.

I'll edit it out of the list above.

See these are the reasons I need people to check my work.

It was an unfortunate side effect to an overall good question. :funny:

Sorry for the delays it posting the scores, but I wanted to make sure everyone (who wanted could look at the scores, before I actually graded the last question.  And yes Peach did absolutely fall from first.

hey, i'm having trouble submitting my answers. last week I went to the game page & I clicked on that week's questions without logging in, which i found out when i noticed there wasn't any 'submit answers' button. so i logged in and was redirected to the main game page, from where i again clicked on that week's questions. surprisingly, i still wasn't logged in and there was no 'submit answers' button. i tried again & again to login, tried clearing history, but didn't work. it was already late so i couldn't ask you guys then. but the same thing is happening this week as well. can someone please help me?

oh, it doesn't matter anymore anyway, i'm way down at the bottom of the list and don't have any hope of going up even by one rank. but it's been a good experience and i'll be waiting for the next season's game!
