WoE's Black Sheep Game II

permalink
After the great response of my first Black Sheep Game, we are back for Round II.
Rules;
Its called the black sheep game. Points are awarded for correct answers, but unique answers score less points. The winner is the person who scores the fewest points, hence the player who doesnt follow the crowd is the most likely winner.
For example, if I asked you to name a primary colour (yes colour, and not color ;-) and you say 'RED'.
The results come in, and look like this;
Red : 10 people pick red
Blue : 7 people pick blue
Yellow : 5 pick yellow
You will score 10 points for Red, 7 if you choose blue and 5 if you choose Yellow. *IF* for some reason you say purple? You get 20 points, double the worst possible answer.
Google is encouraged.
You can see the results from round I here
I will post the 10 questions below. Please PM me your answers. Results in 7 days. Please post to say you sent a PM, I want to keep the thread bumped up for the 7 days, so we get a lot of results.
Please copy and paste the template below for use in your PM. It makes the results easier to manage :-)

Sent. Thanks for this WoE. One question is going to be interesting on the answers for me at least...

I'll bump this thread, though I sent my answers last night.
For the record, (and it would be impossible to monitor), I prefer this kind of game to be google-free. Again, I know there's no way to protect it, just stating my two cents.

I am already working on the next quiz, and it should be pretty google proof. But is not the same type of quiz, I hope you'll all like it as much.

Thanks for doing this WoE! It is fun and even more exciting with something at stake.
Are Fushsia and Pink the same colour? Also, is the intent for #2 that the LAS daily destination be a non-stop flight? For #8, there are many "Top 10" lists (10 commandments for buying a computer, 10 commandments for losing weight...) Shall we assume you are referring to the biblical commandments from Exodus chapter 20?

Well, I should think eventually you can get to any airport in the world via enough connections. I don't know if you include "direct flights" which have the same number, but may stop or even change planes. I believe that the FAA meant for a "direct flight" to be one where the next leg will wait for you if the first is late, whereas a "connection" offers no such guarantee.
I interpreted the question as limited to non-stop flights.

I think the only way for it to be google free is to provide some information as to the choices, and let people select one.

I noticed that WoE hasn't been on here since June 9th ... hopefully he's just on holiday (vacation) as his disappearance was quite sudden especially with Black Sheep II answers due.

Has anyone been in touch with Wizard of England? It has been three months now. Hoping that everything is okay.
