Literature Competition ((See my last post!))

[Shadowfare]

Ok, I've sent my questions in. ((And I was just bumping it to the top as well ))

[Arasithil]

Um...not to nag, but is this competition still going on?

[Qanda]

After I give out the questions, all of you have one week to PM me or Alex

So there should be another 4-5 days more...

[Arasithil]

Oh, sorry, I thought the questions were posted last Wednesday.

[Alex]

Apologies, but I'm going to have to pull out of running this. Put simply, I don't have enough time

I'm sure Dawn's more than capable of running it on her own, anyway

[Bangel]

Awww... sorry, Alex. No worries though- I think I can handle it.

Question submission is now over. Sorry for being a few days late.

Qanda- actually, the questions were up by September 23rd, I believe.

[robot]

Meh, I wish I had seen this post earlier. I know tons of those questions. >.<

[Bangel]

Unfortunately, four people are automatically disqualified for not sending me their answers. I won't say who these people are, or who the people are that are out this round due to not knowing enough of the questions. Therefore, I'll only be posting the people who did make it.

And those people are...

Twizzler0171
Qanda
Shadowfare
Arasithil
Christopher
Matt

Out of thirteen original competitors, only six people made the cut. Maybe the easy round wasn't so easy...

I'll be posting answers to the questions as soon as possible. By the way, there was a bit of a problem with question 7 on my part, so it counted towards an automatic point for everyone.

EDIT: Question answers.

1. According to the novel, Watership Down, how high can rabbits count?

4 (anything else is considered 'a lot'.)

2. What is Mark Twain's real name? (first and last)

Samuel Clemens

3. Name five Slytherins in the Harry Potter series.

Any of the following: Pansy Parkinson (or whatever her last name is), Draco Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle, Tom Riddle, Snape, Salazar Slytherin... I think that's all.

4. What is the last name of Anastasia, found in the popular series by Lowry?

Krupnik.

5. Name five books written by Avi.

Here's a random five- there are quite a few of them, and I can't even list them all: True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle, Errol's Birthday, Windwatcher (I think that's what it's called), Poppy, Poppy and Rye.

6. For what series of horror books is 'R. L. Stine' most well-known for writing?

Goosebumps

7. In the novel, The Eyes of the Dragon, how old is Sasha when she marries the King?

When I checked, I believe it said seventeen, but everyone else said fifteen, and I can't find the book anymore. So, automatic point for everyone.

8. For what genre of book is the author Stephen King most well-known for writing?

Horror.

9. In the book, Rascal, what species of animal is the main character?

Racoon.

10. Name the book by Roald Dahl that features a brilliant young girl able to move things with her mind.

Matilda

11. Name five books in the 'Royal Diaries' series. (NOTE: That does NOT mean the 'Princess Diaries' series. The 'Royal Diary' series is quite like the 'Dear America' series, but I find it more well-written.)

Random five: Elizabeth 1, Jahanara, Eleanor, Kristina, Isabella.

12. Who wrote the book that inspired the movie '101 Dalmations'?

Dodie Smith

13. Name the sequel to the mentioned book.

The Starlight Barking. You'd be surprised at how many people said '102 Dalmations'.

14. Name five books that movies have been based off of. (NOTE: This does NOT mean books that have been based off movies! It's the other way around.)

Random five: Lord of the Rings trilogy, Harry Potter series, 101 Dalmations, Peter Pan, Gone with the Wind

15. Name Mia's best friend in the 'Princess Diaries' series. (I will give a bit of flexibility here. She does have many friends, but if you've read the books, it would be obvious. However, if you are not sure, I will accept any of her friends.)

Lilly.

16. In the book 'A Christmas Carol', what are the names of the three ghosts?

Ghost of Christmas Past, Ghost of Christmas Present, and Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.

17. Name three books by Gary Paulsen.

Random three: My Life in Dog Years, Hatchet, The River.

18. In the book, Hatchet, what is the name of the main character?

Brian Robeson.

19. What color is the tollbooth in The Phantom Tollbooth?

Purple.

20. What occupation did Norton Juster have before he began writing?

Architect.

lol no shock here, I'm not ashamed to say that I didn't know most of those. But thank you for doing this, Dawn, it was fun for me even though I didn't do too well. Congrats to the ones who made it, and I look forward to seeing who ends up winning.

[Twizzler0171]

I'm shocked. With that many answers wrong, I'm surprised I went on. My goodness!

Congratulations to the other people who continued on, and sorry to those who did not.

[Bangel]

I'm shocked. With that many answers wrong, I'm surprised I went on. My goodness!

Well, if I counted correctly, you did get ten or more correct (remember, number seven counted automatically for everyone). Actually, I just checked and you got the most right (even without the number 7 point).

[Christopher]

I think I got about 9 right or something.

[Bangel]

I think I got about 9 right or something.

I'm sure you got at least ten right- I promise you, I double checked. Maybe you're forgetting the bonus point for number 7?

As for new questions, I assure you I'm wracking my brain for them. From now on, you get a free graphic for every two questions you send in.

Expect new questions within a few days.

[DM was on fire!]

I knew I didn't do so good. Congrats, guys!

[Bangel]

Note- questions will be going up one by one so I can verify answers and the like. I'll edit this post when they are up.
