I got 12 on the main questions with 6 from the various bonuses. The End of the World was particularly poor as I got almost nothing. Did best of The Unquiet Dead bonuses as I basically just named every Charles Dickens book I could think of and got most of them right.

I realize that was an option for the Dickens question. Should have said minus one for every incorrect answer :smiling_imp:. I also thought my little trick with the one spoiler size was rather devious.
