Apologies to the contestant that finished in position #21.  I chopped
the header off and he/she/they didn't include their name in the text
of their mail.

Here are the top answers to each question:

>1.  Name a place to go when you want to be alone.
>    Resp=92/ Poss. Answers= 8/ Lowest= 3

	Your bedroom- 44	Library- 6
	Bathroom- 13		"outside"- 5
	Beach- 9		Mountains/Woods- 4
	Park- 8			Car/Drive- 3

[The "outside" response includes such things as "for a walk outside"
 and "for a walk".]

high score:  Marcus Louie w/ 82

>2.  Name a popular cold-weather vacation spot.
>    Resp=86/ Poss. Answers= 7/ Lowest= 2

	Colorado- 54 		Maine- 4
	Alaska- 11              Mountains- 3
        Vermont- 7		Sweden- 2
	Tahoe- 5

[Colorado covers Vail and Aspen since many people were specific and
 many just said "Colorado".  Several people interpreted this to 
 mean "When it is cold where I am....." and said things like 
 Florida and Hawaii.  I didn't make any adjustments or clarifications
 because that is all part of the game.  When I collected the data the
 question was worded exactly the same way, and some people did respond
 w/ warm-weather spots.  Just not enough to make the list.]

high score:  Mark Przybyszewski w/ 72

>3.  Name a car that is now considered a classic.
>    Resp= 83/ Poss. Answers=8/ Lowest=3
	
	Chevy- 19		T Bird- 8
	Mustang- 18		Rolls Royce- 7
	Model T- 12 		Corvette- 7
	Edsel- 9		REO- 3

[I omitted years, as in '57 Chevy, because they varied slightly 
 and I didn't want to distinguish if people were just being 
 inaccurate.  Also, knowing nothing about cars myself, I didn't
 know which of the responses were the correct one. :-) ]

high score:  Betty and Ray Blankenship w/ 65
