nice work!
many people identified the logos but were guessing wildly at the bonus question.
in some pairings both people had the same answers right, so it came down to the winner being the one who spelled more answers correctly.
(that whole attention to detail thing keeps creeping up.)
there was only one complete tie: nwild vs Bytor, this was resolved by a coin flip in nwild's favor. |
