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

Figured I'd get that in since I couldn't get my answer to 60 to post from work and Jon didn't drop an update after I e-mailed him the answer. Not upset about that, I'm just irritated that my work computer has no concistency of when it'll let me post. That and I found it amusing that I knew almost all of the answers only because I'm currently taking an astronomy class.

Since I missed your email, Colossus Prime (I'm on spring break so I'm being pretty lax about checking stuff - or really, doing much of anything - this week), you and Rob both get credit for 60. :b

And BigHobbit, if you meant to type 64 instead of 62 (I figure you probably did), let me know and I'll credit you four points. =)

Take all this for what it's worth - I just quickly cobbled it together via wikipedia and boxofficemojo, and haven't verified any of this - but apparently, Star Trek IV made almost $110 million at the US box office, making it the fifth-highest grossing film in the US in '86, and its $133 million worldwide box office take makes it the third-highest grossing film in the Star Trek franchise (behind the '09 film, which made $385 million worldwide, and just six million behind Star Trek: The Motion Picture, which made $139 million worldwide).

Star Trek IV also has an 84% rating at rottentomatoes.com (making it the third best-reviewed Trek film at rottentomatoes, behind The Wrath of Khan and the '09 film), and it was nominated for four Academy Awards - which is, unless I'm mistaken, the most Oscars a Trek film's ever been nominated for. =)
