UPDATE! THE TRIVIA CONTEST WINNERS and ANSWERS!

And the grand prize winner with only one wrong answer is…TYLER HEASLEY! Yeah, that’s my brother. But, honestly, I did not help him. That wouldn’t be right. He’s a very enthusiastic SF reader and just nailed this. Congrats, Tyler! You get to commission a sketch card from artist John Jett. Please email me back with your request and address.

Second place goes to…LAURA SETCHELL! Laura gets her pick of either the Spy Gal or Jerry sketch cards by artist John Jett. Laura, email me back your pick and address!

Third place goes to…GEORGIA DARRAH! Georgia, you’ll get whichever of the cards Laura doesn’t pick. Please email me back with your address!

Thanks to everyone who entered. My sense is that you guys dig these trivia fests so maybe we’ll do it again sometime.
