1. A player may answer one question per update. If a player correctly answers more than one, he or she will be credited with the lowest-point question correctly answered (and any other answers will be up for grabs).
2. If two or more people correctly answer a question and their posts have the exact same timestamp, they'll both get full credit for it.
3. An edit time counts as the time an answer was posted, so be sure to be careful when editing a post.
4. I screw up the scores sometimes, so just tell me if I didn't award you points when I should have (or otherwise messed up), and I'll fix it ASAP. And I don't have any set time when I update this; I just do it whenever I have time to. :b
5. Have fun. =)
