If you want to comment on the quiz (positive or negative, I can take both), or you have questions, this is the thread for it. You can also PM me about it, if you want.
Please keep this thread "answer-free", so nobody will involuntarly read an answer here before s/he has posted their answers.

I think it would be better if we PM'd our answers to you, and then you posted the answers and the winners next week...

Hi Eric, thanks for your comment. I also thought about this but then decided against it. I weighed the possibility of sneaking a peek to other answers willingly or unvoluntarily by scrolling against traceability of my counts after the quiz. I decided to go for traceability without having to go through efforts like posting all PMed answers of participants after the deadline.
It's all for fun after all. There's a reply button on top of the page so you don't have to scroll down (and see other answers) to reply. And if someone really wants to cheat, then so be it. I personally always thought it doesn't make sense to cheat because you will know it and your (possible) good result would be marred by this knowledge.
So the genereal rule stays as it is: post your answers on the quiz thread, but everybody who prefers to PM them to me is welcome to do so.

It was a fun quiz and just the right amount of difficulty! I can't wait to see the answers!!

I agree with Lee Chrissi. I love the quizzes you make up so keep doing them. It definitely was not an easy quiz, but that makes it better since you have to dig for and research the questions. In doing so you end up learning many other interesting facts about the movie that you did not know before. It also gives you a chance to view the movie in very close detail as well as the story and I even went into the screenplay for this one. That is not to mention all the new BBM sites I found by having to search out answers. One interesting, but sad, thing I found is that the house where the Twist Thanksgiving was filmed was torn down shortly after the filming >:( I also found that I am very much looking forward to the Alberta trip in 2009 since I will get to see all these places and buildings from the movie.

Oh and by the way I worked on the quiz instead of the school work I was supposed to be doing :D Oh well, this was an important deadline too in my opinion :laugh: I only wish my classes could be as interesting, but this presentation I have to do is on forensics and computer forensics so I guess it could be interesting especially if you were the teacher.

I know, Jack -- I'll do almost anything to keep from doing school work!! :P
Well -- here's a dumb thing that I did. Spoiler alert for anyone who has not taken the quiz.
Now that I've looked at other people's answers, I realize:
Right after the question about which teams were playing on TG day there was a question about who was Alma going to yell for.......
I thought it meant "which team" was she gonna yell for. :P lol
Oh well!! I would have missed it either way! The quiz was fun -- and hard for me! I needed to run it off, watch the movie again, and read the story again. ;)

Thank you all so much for your nice comments :-*.
But I can't take all credit, Katherine and I did it together. So here's also a big thank you to my friend and co-moderator, who provided some of the most difficult questions. If you cursed over some questions, blame it on her ;) ;D - just kidding of course.
Answers will be posted and award ceremony will be held later this evening (European time zone).

Well, it's true. I wouldn't have been able to answer those questions if I hadn't written them myself. :laugh: But yours were tough, too, Chrissi!

I love your quizzes! I also like that this one wasn't very long. I was surprised at some of the answers that seemed common knowledge among my fellow quiz-takers that I didn't know.

I read the quiz after the deadline was over (sorry that I missed the fun!) and it I was amazed by how tough some of the questions were. Great job Buds! Will there be more quizes in our future?
;D

Thanks for your nice comment. And yes, there will be more quizzes, but no concrete plans yet. Sometime in the future ... :)

It was a great quiz and a lot of work. But it was also a lot of fun. I usually don't win anything so I was very happy with my winnings :) I look forward to the next one.
