Actually, the link in the first post of this thread does not go to the competition any more. The contest link is crossed out on that page. You will probably have to contact DC, or wait until the results are published (as the questions should be provided with them).

I know you didn't tell me anything
Your "yeah...probably" PM reply to my question was more than enough for me to interpret.

Here's the questions uploaded on the internet (WITH NO ANSWERS- I'll let dan upload them

http://home.att.net/~tivoligardens/apolyton.htm

Just for fun, I took the test myself and missed 3 oh well... I wonder if anyone did better than me

I reckon I got about 45 wrong on that. You can't expect to post at Poly so frequently and hope to have no knowledge about some of those things.

To confirm and clarify: when the answers to the contest are posted, the questions will also return as apart of the 5 Years feature.

Very cool. I only knew or had a clue about 20 or 25 of them though.

Who did suggest Jungle Gazette? I am sure it was not the obvious answer.

No, the answers nor the winners list have as of yet been published. The plan is still to post both, however.

"Obvious" answer?

My lack of naming ability is legendary. But, no, it was not me, and it was a very good trick question. Don't know if I should say who it was or let you suffer till the answers are official.

Though, where the answer was EVER posted and DC learned of it has got to be quite obscure for I do not even know where I mentioned it more than once, in passing, in some obscure thread or another.

You can thank GodKing for that question and answer- both supplied during the short period he had access to the staff room

I knew GodKing would have a hand in there somewhere.

I wonder how many of the demogamers even got that one right.

Is there going to be a statistical breakdown of which question had the most right/wrong? Should be interesting.

Well that was the main horse right? If so it would have been much wittier if you researched the name of his backup horse.
