Me too. PH, when will you break down and throw us a bone post a hint?

[C.J.Woolf]

Even so, I learned about the mantis shrimp from it. What a cool badass critter.

[Hermione]

We demand intpc t-shirts with a mantis shrimp as the logo. You can throw in a goldsmith trademark if you like. Mantis shrimp lovers... one reason why you are a nerd for real.

I'm saving the unanswered questions (if there are any left) for a bonus round, probably on Sunday after the final two main rounds. The bonus round will have hints to make things a lot easier but the questions will only count for half.

Crap, I didn't notice that possibility either. Whatever, I'll give you and Ferrus points for you answers.

The answer I had was the voice of the Fallen in Transformers. A big role on the big screen, but I obviously didn't make this question very clear. . . sorry 'bout that.

I guess OMW deserves something for the Istanbul fiasco as well. I'm feeling generous tonight.

10 billion is small? Wow.

[PenguinHunter]

N5) non-industrialized nations

No, there is a very specific place that this estimate applies to.


10 billion is small? Wow.

Heh, actually I'm not really sure how that works. It may be that this place has far more distinct products that some small nation's economies.
