The Game is Over! … kinda

Congratulations to everyone!  The initial phase of the game is over.
This has been a great week, and we hope you guys had as much fun as we did.  It was a real challenge trying to stump you (and google).   And yes, we saw you guys searching the clues in google.  Cheaters.  :-P

And even though in the later days we were able to come up with clues that were un-google-able, it was no use.  You are just too smart, because we ended up with a tie.  We were very impressed to see how many people barely missed any questions all week!

Ending LEADER BOARD:

Six people answered every single question correctly, and we have a super-tie for first place (15/15)

Charles Eubanks
Bo Stock
Alexiss Memmott
John Paul Rhinemiller
Carolee Eubanks
Teresa Nord

And special recognition to those who only missed ONE question(14/15):

Bobby Pontillas
Michael Richard
Jared Garcia

And for EVERYONE else, whether you emailed us your answers or played along at home in your head, we want to give you a huge pat on the back.  We would have loved to personally reply to everyone that submitted answers, but we had a much larger turnout than expected and responding to everyone wasn’t practical.  So let’s do a huge public ‘Thank you’  Thanks for making this week so fun!

By the way, if your all-time-favorite movie never made it into the contest, don’t hold it against us.  There were plenty of films we wanted to include but never found a place for.

So… what happens now?  Tie-Breaker!

We will be figuring out our tie-breaker options over the weekend and will announce the details in the coming week.  The next level of the game will only be between people with 15/15, but you will be more than welcome to play along at home.

Once again, congrats to all of you!  And thank you to everyone who sent us positive feedback about the game.  We are thrilled to know so many people were really having fun with this.

If you missed any part of the challenge you can check out all of it here:
| Announcement and Rules | Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5 |

Best of luck to the lucky 6 in the upcoming tie-breaker round!

Apparently we have to make these things way harder, because you guys are just too smart.  Over 30 people gave right answers for all three! You can check out the correct answers which have been added into the game day 1 post.  If you didn’t get them all correct don’t despair!  It’s still anyone’s game.
We also enabled comments on that post so that you can discuss those clues and what they mean.

Now lets start day 2 of our give-away game for the autographed Art of How to Train Your Dragon book.
