Question #25 is incorrect, the interception was right at the end of the first half.
Roman responds: Thanks, it's been corrected (btw, this wasn't my contest).
A question seems to be missing, I count 57 on the newspaper page I have, but there is only 56 answers, not sure what question is missing though.
Roman responds: There was a duplicate question. Next year you're editing this thing. I'm tempted to list John's phone number here so you can direct questions to the guy who did this.
Just asking, I thought Cardinals called 1st time out? question #20
Thanks,
I scored 42, where's my prize?
