Okay, I know it's only 12 questions, but I'm in a bit of a hurry these few weeks, but answer them and then I'll tally up the points! The bonus is worth 2 extra points, and if I get enough people, I'll see how many people get it right!
ALL entries screened unless you have a question and then it will be unscreened so others can get help if they need it too!
Thanks guys

Just a heads up maybe for questions such as:
2.When are elections held?
State what elections you mean, I'm assuming you mean America? Because I'm British and ours are in May and that would have been my answer to that question.

4.Where was the airline flight headed when it was forced to land and remove passengers? (also bonus)
I second the screened comments here, um? What are you refering to?

Thanks and well done with getting a SPEW contest up :)

sorry about the confusion, I didn't realize the difference in the voting months and the airline flight. I didn't want to offend anyone by putting who was kicked off, but I apologize for the confusion. I'll try and make things more clear for the next contest.

It's ok, I guess most people assumed, but I just thought it'd be something to think about for your next challenge :)
