Try to think of the most popular answer. Don't bother entering for the sake of entering without thinking about how best to reply.

If you need to comment or clarify a question then do it in thread please. And if you could reply once you've sent a PM it'd keep the thread alive Thanks!

Write your answers like this...

Do not repeat the questions, no full-stops at the end of answers, no spaces between lines, no comments, no fancy list coding. Thanks.

JUST LIKE THIS:

1. Dr Maria O' Brien
2. Kathy Wells
3. XXXX

Those who don't reply like this will be ignored.

The game will end when we have 40 entrants or after 5 days, whichever comes first.

Please, no full-stops after the answers and put a space in between the 1. and the answer ok?

1. Name a novel/novella/short story written Stephen King and published in his name, or under a pen-name, which has been made into a major motion picture or TV movie.
2. Name one of the books from The Barrytown Trilogy.
3. Name an Irish-born winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Even so, out of the 14 or so answers I have, 8 people have all given the same person

This one is going to be *very* close I bet. There are 2 questions that almost everyone has given the same answer to so should you answer something different your chances of winning are slim.
