> - Darkest hair? This was tough, and involved Kaz, Mensekemeser, and Selah stepping up for a closer look. If I remember correctly, Mensekemeser won it.

I don't think I did. I don't remember who would have, though.


> Mensekemeser was the big winner, winning the Official RinkWorks Soapdish and a bingo chip. He missed only two of the sixty six possible answers. I'd love to see a finals round between him and gremlinn. Gahalyn angled for a bingo chip by asking if I'd give one one to the person who got the most correct answers without any wrong answers, but the ploy failed, as Grishny earned the chip for that one -- he got something like 62 or 63 correct answers.

This is somewhat mixed up. Grishny won the memory game with 67 out of 69 correct answers. I took the Gahalyn Impromptu Consolation Prize with 66 correct and 3 half answers.

I'm now curious to see how much of the memory game I remember. Lemme try off the top of my head... most of these are paraphrased.
