For each of the items above, your goal is to give the most common
response to the question. 

Your score on each question is equal to the number of people who give that 
answer. If you skip a question, or leave it blank, you will score 1 for 
that question.  Your total score is the product of your scores on each 
question. Your object is to get as high a score as possible.

No answers will be judged incorrect. As moderator, I will need to
decide if two answers are the same, but I will not check the answers for
correctness. The object is to get the most common answer, which is not 
necessarily the most common correct answer. A general class and a specific 
member of that class will be treated as distinct answers. An ambiguous
answer will be treated as a general class consisting of all things which
that ambiguous answer might be interpreted as.

For example, suppose I ask for a color on the current Canadian flag.
20 people say red, 8 say blue, 4 say white, 3 say maple leaf, and 1 says 
leaf. The scores are then simply red=20, blue=8, white=4, maple leaf=3,
and leaf=1. I ignore the fact that blue is not on the current Canadian
flag, that leaf and maple leaf are not colors, and that a maple leaf is a 
specific instance of the class leaf.

For my convenience please do not quote this message when responding.
Mail only your answers, and these in plain ASCII or ISO 8859-1 text.

Your message should contain the 10 answers, numbered 0 to 9, and your
name. Comments, explanatory notes, explanations of strategy, and
suggestions for questions for future contests are all welcome, but
please place them after your 10 answers, and make sure that they are clearly 
marked so as to not be confused with your answers. Your email address will 
be posted in the results if I don't see both a first and a last name, or an 
explicit request for a particular form of your name to be used.

Clarifications will generally not be given during the contest. Multiple 
entries are not allowed. Please do not post any discussion of the questions 
to the newsgroup or collaborate with other contestants in your entries.

Have fun!
