I took it. And now I am revising it.

EDIT: OMG! I got 81 wrong!

Will you be putting up the runner-ups, or basically all scores, on the site as well? Because I really do wanna know if I even got so much as close, because that would really increase my disappointment. Then I could bury myself in my shame and cry myself to sleep. That would be so awesome.

Seriously, though.

I'm not even completely grading some of these. For example, the best one so far is a 96%. As I'm grading, if this particular sheet has at least five wrong, they're obviously out... so I just stop there. It keeps me from going insane.

All of the answers, such as where the images come from, will be posted when the contest is over, so you can grade yourself :).

Just under 40, thus far. Not sure if that's a lot or not enough :).

Well, it's only been two hours, and you gotta remember Daizex has a lot of visitors who aren't from America and thus from a different time zone, as well. For instance, it's five AM here. Wheeee!!

It's been under 3 hours out of 24. I'm guessing you'll have a lot of entries when you check your inbox in the morning...

Might want to pull an all-nighter, eh? :)

Edit: I got beaten to a post, again, sort of... whatever.

Nice Light avatar, Dai.

5 am! Where are you, Italy?

Question for Ex. Is the person with 96% part of the forum?

Wow... That's gotta take up some bandwidth.

BTW, question 70 is just sub-par.
It's party time, Ginyu style!

I'm not saying anything about anyone and their respective entries other than the leading person has 96% ^^;;.

Well will you explain where the pictures for the "wrong" answers come from? I mean, after you grade them all of course.

Luckily people pay attention.

Yep, just like all the people sending MS Word documents and entries with no names or e-mail addresses :).

Just sent my entry, and I feel more or less sure about its accuracy. Unfortunately, my peculiar gift to tell the difference between Toriyama's and other's art was not as good as it normally is. I didn't really revise mine...I just sent it in as soon as I finished the form.
I was voted "most unique" and "most likely to become the next existential thinker" in high school.

Well that was fun. So tempted to look up the Krillin/18 kiss image, but I was HARDCORE and didn't. I hope my methods for picking out landscape images was correct.

I would love to do pretty good, but I'm betting that I made a lot of sloppy mistakes, just like on all my math tests in high school!!

Heh, I once ran a website and had every key element in bold and even had an increased font size so people could see it, and there was still the odd person who just skimmed through every detail and did exactly what I asked them not to do. It's fun to get those kinds of entries, isn't it? :D

Cool contest. I was expecting the usual 3 question-contest, but it turned out to be much better. I probably haven't won, but I must say that there were some very easy ones and some very hard ones like the ones where no character is present on the picture.
