You are requested NOT to use ANY current or back issues of comics to get the answers. This is NOT an open-book quiz! 2. You may collaborate with others, but they should not be using comics to help them either. 3. I will accept the first 3 (maximum) responses I get from each location to represent that location. The one with the most correct answers will be used. 4. The last day for entries will be Friday, April 16. I will accept NO entries after that date. 5. Mail all answers to me (mhuxh!lute). DO NOT post your answers on the net! Those that are posted on the net, rather than sent to me I will not even read. 6. Scoring will be explained when I am ready to post the winners. 7. Depending on how many entrants I get there will be competition between respondents from different locations within the same company, different companies and/or universities and the U.S. vs. Canada (in case you didn't know, there are two Canadian Universities on the net). 8. Sign the bottom of your responses with your real name, login name, company/univ. and state or province. GOOD LUCK!! And now let the game BEGIN! 1.
