At this point, I’m the biggest loser. I got 1 out of 12 (a staggering 8%).

I got 2/12. Way to make a Monday worse!

@ tpal – we’re tied! I also got 1/12, and rather than being one of the few about which I was ‘certain’ it was one of my totally stab-in-the-dark guesses. Oh, well…

I got 0%… and I didn’t try to. Seems about right.
