Hey there's still a few days to enter the quiz! The score to beat is 43 points.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do for posts after the quiz is over because my mom doesn't want me saving pictures onto her computer and pictures was kinda my thing. Oh well, I'll come up with something.
Maybe I'll get sudden fan-fiction inspiration.

1/21/2014

Just letting everyone know that any quiz entries recived after 6pm eastern standard time on January 29th will not be counted.
Results for the quiz will be posted sometime on Jan 30. I don't know what time as I will have to do school.

The end of January draws ever nearer, if you haven't entered the Super Fan Quiz you should! There's still time!

1/11/14

Here are the new standings.

The person in first has 43/53 points.
The person in second has 40/53 points.
The person in third has 32/53 points.
The person in forth has 28/53 points.


Now here are some pictures from my trip to the Gateway Arch in April of 2011.
(I may have posted these before but I can't remember.)
I thought it was cool to have visited one of the places mentioned in Percy Jackson.
And I might get to visit the Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak later this year. :) If I do I'll be sure to post pictures!

I wore my homemade Camp Half-Blood shirt when we went.

It was very big. (I'd say how tall but I don't want to give away any quiz answers!)

Look at all that space between the Arch  and the river (looking almost straight down). Do you think
Percy could have made that jump?

The view out of a window on the other side.

This is what the tram you ride up/down in looks like. And it is tiny!
And I was stuck in it with a very large lady whose very large purse could have concealed a small, fire breathing dog. ;)

The Arch looks weird from below.

1/9/13

I've been busy, I hope to do a better post on Saturday.
Meanwhile, follow the link on my sidebar to James' Junker's blog (also called Percy Jackson Fans Unite) to read his predictions for BoO. I think that it's spot on.

Current Standings (Now that I've recounted.)

Okay now that I re-counted to make sure that I didn't miscount like I thought I had here are the current standings for the quiz.

Since I e-mailed in results you'll know where you are since you know your own score. :)

The person in first place has 43 out of 53 points.
The person in second place has 42 out of 53 points.
The person in third place has 40 out of 53 points.
The person in forth place has 28 out of 53 points.

Thank you all for entering! The quiz will be open until someone gets 53 points or until January 30.

Current Standings

EDIT: I'm stupid. I think I've been miscounting points this whole time. I think that I counted bonus points twice by mistake, marking them as correct answers and as the bonus 2 points. Oops. So now I need to re-count everyone's scores. I'll be doing that tomorrow. No need to send in a new entry, I didn't delete the old ones.
Sorry 'bout that.
And I was right in the first place you can only get a maximum of 53 points. I had thought it was wrong because someone had gotten like 5 questions wrong yet had almost all the points they could get. That was due to my double counting of bonus points. Again, oops.
I feel stupid now. :)


Here are the current standings on the quiz. (Sorry ignore these, they're wrong.)
(I re-counted and saw that the maximum amount of points you can get is 59 not 53 but that will not affect your score so no biggie.)

The person in first place has 50/59 points.
The two people tied for second each have 40/59 points.
The person in third has 29/59 points.

Thanks for entering everyone!
And remember, you can send in another entry to try and get more correct answers!
