    I hope its something exciting like making them climb the Eiffel Tower, not something mundane like guessing how many posts or thanks threads have ;)

    No magic sheepulator tool here, so only scores will be revealed, not answers. I'll have to go back through the PMs to grab the best (worst) guesses for each.
