The first week of the HP4GU contest has been truly exciting, as you are a very knowledgable and obsessed bunch.  However, not quite obsessed enough, as hardly anyone knew the answers to all ten questions.  The only one who got all of them right (and also knew the extra credit!) was Robin (lapislazuli63@h...)

Now, while it is certainly possible that Robin broke the rules and looked in the books, I will assume that all of this trivia was in Robin's obsessed little head, hence I am immediately sending the poor soul a coupon good for a 20% discount for therapy at the Flying Ford Clinic in London.  (The coupon is also good for a discount on membership to Amandas 12-step program for HP fanatics, should Texas be closer.)

Several people got 8 or 9 questions right, including Amy Z., who missed only question #9 but not only knew the extra credit but also pointed out that the playwrights name, "Malecrit", means "badly-written" in French.  Since Amy Z., as a card-carrying member of L.O.O.N. (the League of Obsessive Nitpickers), is beyond hope, she does not get one of the above coupons.

Elizabeth C. (nizbet_noni@h...) and bak42@n... got 8 out of ten right.  And Amanda, who got 7 questions right, pointed out that the names of the characters in the play, GRENOUILLE and CRAPAUD, mean FROG and TOAD in French.  (Frog and Toad is a childrens book, right?)  

Lots of other people participated, but I would especially like to thank the newbies for jumping into the fray.  People who have joined in the last 2 months or so who responded include: Cait Hunter, Jamieson Wolf Villeneuve, Andrea, Alake Fullmoon, and Nethilia de Lobo, all of whom have officially proved their fanaticism.
