First player to 100 points wins (the satisfaction of being the winner). :b

*******************************************************

The Rules --- Please Read!
1. A player may answer one question per update. If a player correctly answers more than one, he or she will be credited with the lowest-point question correctly answered (and any other answers will be up for grabs).
2. If two or more people correctly answer a question and their posts have the exact same timestamp, they'll both get full credit for it.
3. An edit time counts as the time an answer was posted, so be sure to be careful when editing a post.
4. I screw up the scores sometimes, so just tell me if I didn't award you points when I should have (or otherwise messed up), and I'll fix it ASAP. And I don't have any set time when I update this; I just do it whenever I have time to. :b
5. Have fun. =)

Once a question’s been correctly answered, it’s forever gone. If any questions from a set of questions haven’t been correctly answered by the time I post a new set of questions, though, they roll over into the newest update, and they’re fair game for anybody. =)
