And... the results are in!
Explanation for the tallying: In questions involving multi-part answers, I gave credit for partial answers. For instance, in Question 22, the "Who scored runs...?" question (which turned out to be a REAL jinx: I didn't even NUMBER it correctly!), I gave 1/3 credit for each correct runner (and there
were three of 'em: Mace, Capa, and Harvey). So if you answered "Mace and Capa" on Question 22, for instance, you got 2/3 credit.
So here are our winners:
In FIRST PLACE, with a score of 29 out of 30:

In SECOND PLACE, we have...
CHEROThe other Icarus top... she's yours!
In THIRD PLACE, there's...
SASHAIf you don't have a copy of the "Sunshine" script book, a copy of said book is now yours. If you already have the book, let me know, and we'll arrange for a different prize!
And, in FOURTH PLACE, we have...
TERRITTThink that the I Am Kloot CD with "Avenue of Hope" on it is now the prize here. If you have it-- or if you'd rather have a gently used DVD of, say, "28 Days Later," let me know!
CONGRATULATIONS, EVERYONE!
[Specifics: PM me with shipping addresses and/or other prize requests. Re: The CD "soundtracks" to "North Sea" and "Pod": I'll happily burn and include 'em with your other prizes.]
And now for the official answers:
1. The Gold Rush
2. Capa, as noted by Mace, is our "official" snorer. So the correct answer is "Capa." But then-- far too late-- I remembered mentioning at one point that Trey was snoring. So this question ended up being an "either-or": Capa or Trey.
3. Trey loses his right arm. Mace regains his sight in his right eye.
4. Tranquility Base, on the moon
5. A stumper! Loinnir Annalee Whitby
6. The

)

19. Cassie
20. Trey
21. Mace
22. (Misnumbered and jinxed!) Mace, Capa, and Harvey
