2) You may use one drop and take zero points for one question
3) You may elect to take the "sheep" (most popular) answer for one question
4) Wrong responses are the "sheep" answer +4
5) All answers are due by 8 AM Central time on Monday, June 29, 2020 (Note: This deadline is subject to be extended based on my availability to score responses.)
6) If you need clarification on a clue, want to verfiy your responses or have other questions please PM me. If you're not sure something is a correct answer, don't use it.
