Ok, let's try to eliminate these in one fell swoop (this is for the clan contest, by the way): Earth's moon, Mars or its moons, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter or its moons, Saturn or its moons, Uranus or its moons, Neptune or its moons, Pluto or its moon, Planet X (the proposed planet beyond Pluto), 'Space Spawn' homeworld, Nokkar's homeworld, the 3rd alien race's homeworld, Manhattan
One full point.
(Boy, that was fun.) :[
no tyca for you pal...
Hello GregFrom a later post I did on what do you consider aclan...
Yes, unpure was what I had in mind when referring to
the New O. clan. But I think time has answered my Q
for me. Thanks. As for spelling..*sighs heavily* I'm
sorry. I promise from now on only to post after I have
gone through each word with a dictionary (has no spell
check:P can you believe that? on a 98'!) unless it is
an extream emergency Q. Your right, if I don't wait
for feed back it is pointless. As far as like where in
Italy..I guess I hadnt been putting down specific
places cuz I thought that would give me a mountain of
half points and drive me clean up a wall. But if it is
mandatory or just helps you out I will do so!:)
1) Manhattan
2) London
3) Ishimura
4) Guatemala
5) New Olympus
6) The Labyrith
7) Avalon
8) Xanadu,China
9) Italy,Rome
10) Turkey
11) Paris,France
12) Antarctica
12) Ireland
13) Lockness,Scotland
P.S: I really will try on the spelling..but..don't expect any miracles.
_________________________________________________
I'm not big on spell-checks anyway. You tend to wind up with sentences like: "This is what I want from my COLLAGE education." or "I think we may be in a POSSESSION to help each other." Good old proof-reading is still the best method. Reading aloud helps too.
As for the contest...
Ten full points. One half point.
And you mispelled Loch Ness and Labyrinth.
But tyca...
And don't take this curmudgeon too seriously. I've had my fair share of typos too.

Ed> Ofcourse if it turns out that "Xanadu, China" was completely wrong, everyone will have to *blame* me for misleading them (and yeah I think it was I who first made that guess - "woman wailing for her demon lover" reminded me gargoyles too much for me not to place that guess in there... :-)

(And incidentally, responding to your point that Elisa used her thumb to count 'three' on her hand: I count using my thumb too. Sorry this is irrelevant, but it wasn't worth wasting a post over IMO).

I'm having so much fun with this contest. I've been keeping track of everyone's guesses, and with every new answer I learn (or confirm) something. I was overjoyed when you actually started giving scores. It has become much easier for me to add up the scores since you started telling us the number of half points recently, but it was actually more fun when an 8 might mean 8, or 7 and 2 halves, or 6 and 4 halves, etc. I appreciate all the hints, but please don't give too many more, or you'll be making it too easy for us!
TTFN!!
11 full points. 1 half point. That's a damn good score. And, no, I'm gonna stick to this system now, but I'm gonna try NOT to give anymore EXTRA hints.
And frankly, as close as you guys are getting numerically, I still don't think anyone's ever going to solve this one.

THE HYENA CONTEST
Hyena is smiling because she's eager to get back to women's prison and hopes her next cellmate will be more 'accomodating' than Fox ; )
Except this episode takes place before Hyena went to prison and "roomed" with Fox. Who may or may not have been accomodating.
Now who scares who?

2. Ishimura, Japan

13. Cairo, Egypt
14. Moscow, Russia
Eight full points. One half point.
THE HYENA CONTEST
From the beginning of the episode, we see that Hyena is not content with living a "normal life". She wants to be, if you'll excuse the teenage phrase, hardcore. Wolf and Fox had already proven they were tough by getting thrown into prison for taking a woman hostage. Perhaps in her somewhat warped view of things, she was proving she was as good, if not better than they were. They were arrested for taking a model hostage; she, however tried to assassinate one of the richest men on earth. Who do you think would be considered more dangerous?
Thanks for participating. Results some day.
Hyena Contest:
Hyena says "I'm not beaten yet", and Elisa responds by shouting "Oh, yes you are!". Hyena looks angry for a second, then smiles. I think she does this because she's thinking "Oh, no I'm not." She realizes that she's down but not out, and that although she may have to bide her time, she'll get out, and in the meantime she's going to go to prison with her brother to plan what happens next. So Hyena's smile her way of laughing at Elisa, who has no idea just how wrong she is.
Thank you for entering. Results when all the entries are in.
Well, I guess I'll take a shot at this, before more eloquent guys like Aris and Airwalker take it.
The Hyena Contest.
I think the twins had a very... strange childhood, which didn't impress them with the fundamental goodness of humanity. At the end of the day, each is probably the only one that the other even partially trusts.
They're both terrified of being alone, which is why a psychopath and a sociopath stay together. Hyena is smiling because she knows, subconsciously, that getting captured is the only way to stay with her brother.
(Or maybe Hyena was so glad not to be blind after seeing a million candle-power searchlight through her NVGs, she was happy to see anything, even a cop)
Thanks. Contests results to follow... someday....
THE HYENA CONTEST
Hyena smiles because she's amused by Elisa's values. Elisa is clearly playing by the "good guy" rules, which say that you don't shoot someone when you could arrest them, you don't drop Xanatos off the building, etc. Hyena believes that when it's in your best interests for someone to be dead, you kill them. It's funny to Hyena that Elisa could be so deluded by ideas of "right" and "wrong" that she would let someone as dangerous as Hyena live to fight another day when it would be so easy just to kill her and solve the problem permanently.
Thanks Adam, good answer. I know you posted it in March. It's almost July, and you're the first entry to the contest I've seen. I had to go back and look up the rules, it's been so long. Anyway, when I finally get through all the April posts, I'll announce a winner.
