I've also decided that run-off questions are only worth 3 points instead of 5. After 5pm EST (10pm GMT) people are welcome to try answer any question they believe the original poster got incorrect or any question the poster did not provide a reply for. Anybody who posts an answer to any question but their own PRIOR to the 5pm EST (10pm GMT) deadline will be disqualified from the quiz.
