Well, things have really slowed down tonight. Question #4 has been up for over an hour and we still don't have five correct answers. Seems like the late night hours might be the time to make your move. ![[Dubious]](../tcg/graemlins/dubious.gif)
Here is the summary of the first three questions. I will try to put up a leader board tomorrow morning, which will be about 1/3 of the way through the contest. Until then, you do the math.

Yea, I was at school, then went to spend the night, so when I got home at noon, I was shocked to see 8 contests already done. Now, I'm going to a Steven Curtis Chapman concert, so I won't get to participate in any contests that happen in the next 4 or 5 hours probably. So I've only seen 2 questions. Oh well, you win some you lose some.

OK, I have a bit of time to update the contest results. I will put the Leader Board up in the morning, so the individual results will have to do for now.
quote:
QUESTION #11: What is the only Base set Lightning Pokémon that has 70 HP?
A: Electabuzz.
Scoring
5 - yoshi1001
4 - Misty
3 - SauroN
2 - NoPoke
1 - Red5bv06
Someone answered Zapdos to this one.
quote:
QUESTION #12: How many different/unique Pokémon cards can be found in the Pokémon-E Expedition Base set Booster Packs (count all versions of a card as unique cards)?
A: 318 - Although there are 165 numbered cards in the set, you can get 159 regular cards and 159 Reverse Holo cards for a total of 318 unique cards from the booster packs. The 6 basic energies do not come in the boosters, in either form.
Scoring
5 - Psychic_Prof
4 - yoshi1001
3 - Misty
2 - LuckyCal
1 - GOROY
This one caused some problems. There were probably more incorrect answers to this than all the others put together. Hmmm, maybe this is a sign of things to come.
quote:
QUESTION #13: In Pokémon Snap (N64), what kind of ball can you use to force hiding Pokémon into the open?
A: Pester Balls.
Scoring
5 - yoshi1001
4 - LuckyCal
3 - Misty
2 - SuperSaiyanEevee
1 - Orange Soda
My oh my!!! Things are really starting to get interesting now. The questions, which have been soooo easy to find, seem to be invisible! Oh wait, there they are, right in front of me. Why didn't my search button pick that one up.
JOSHMAN ...... ![[Dropjaw]](../tcg/graemlins/dropjaw.gif)
quote:
QUESTION #14: In the picture on the Dark Dugtrio card, from the Team Rocket set, Dugtrio is popping out of the floor in someone's house. What room of the house is shown in the picture?
A: The bedroom. You can see a bed, a nightstand and a dresser.
Scoring
5 - Psychic_Prof
4 - yoshi1001
3 - Orange Soda
2 - GOROY
1 - Red5bv06
There you have it folks. One thing I want to point out, with the final day's questions still to come, no one is safe yet. Theoretically, a person who has no points after question 14 could still pull off the win. I doubt that will happen, but there are a whole lot of people in this contest that still have a very good chance. I hope you are having as much fun playing it as we are having bringing it to you. Good Luck!
Oh ya, one more thing ..... GET SOME SLEEP!!!

I probably shouldn't do this, but you have all worked so hard. I can't tell you which one, but one of the last few questions gave almost everyone BIG trouble. Out of over a dozen responses, there were only two that were correct.
I've said too much .....

OK, there are 21 questions. Out of those 21 questions, 20 have been answered at least 5 times correctly. The reason why this contest is not over is Question #17. Many have tried, some multiple times, but only LuckyCal, Red5bv06 and *Misty* have gotten it correct. There are 4 islands, but one has a slightly different look to it's name. That's all I will say.
