Well, apparently when people think of the 60's, they think of the space program. Remember, if your guess is close to the real answer, I'll tell you and give you points and NOT put your answer in the Answer List and you cannot guess. So if you see your answer and a lot of similiar ones, chances are that they aren't the correct answer Apollo got fooled this way; EricBess didn't.
However, EricBess wanted to give some props to sageridder's answer since he thought the correct answer couldn't be as simple as that, though sometimes they are
EricBess guessed 3.
Apollo guessed 4.
sageridder and TomB guessed 6.
Scores (hope I get them right this time ):- TomB gained 7 points (+1 for initial, +1 for final, +1 for both, +3 for correct, +1 for someone else guessing his answer) bringing his total to 21
- sageridder gained 7 points for the same reasons, bringing his total to 20
- Apollo gained 3 points for the first three reasons, bringing his total to 13
- EricBess gained 3 points for the same three reasons, bringing his total to 10
- Wonka gained 1 point for the initial guess, bringing his total to 2
