Answers and Winners!
Thank all of you for participating!
Here is how the points worked:
Each correct answer will be two points.
A partially correct answer will be one point.
And a wrong answer is a .5 point.
(Answer on all sites for more chances for points!)
Anyone who shares a 1960's story (can be yours, parents, friends, etc.) on the blog will receive 2 bonus points.
It is taking me longer to tally the points than I thought. I will have the winners posted shortly. For now, here are the questions and the answers for each of the sites:
