After a lot of careful points counting and going back and forth on awarding points for guessing the number of questions answered correctly (I am so regretting putting that question in) we finally have our winners! This was much closer than we could have ever expected and you all put in a great effort but I'm very proud to say that @Meshugenah and I are the real winners because nobody got a perfect score!

Okay, fine, so we will be awarding some prizes despite that and I really do mean this when I say a big congratulations to the three winners - the points between you were super close but nobody else broke the 60 points line and in all honesty, anyone who got over 40 points did very well!

Gold
@Mea
74/100

Silver
@jumpingsheep
71/100
Bronze
@fortis
70/100


A big thank you to all of our other contestants and remember - you have the right to ask us for the right answer to any one question but choose carefully, it might satisfy your curiosity or help you in a future event!

@TheSilverFox, @Gravity, @alliyah, @tgirly - also feel free to ask us what your score was if you're curious.

I'll fully admit I was hoping to place, but I didn't think I'd win. :D

Can you at least tell us which questions we got wrong? :3
We're all stories in the end.

I think of you as a fairy with a green dress and a flower crown and stuff.

I think you, @Deanie and I are like the Three Book Nerd Musketeers of YWS.

How about I'll tell you which ones you scored 0 points for but I won't tell you which you got half wrong?

Great scavengerhunt @Rydia & @Meshugenah! :) I had fun looking around for answers! - Congratulations to the 3 winners as well!

Rydia or Meshugenah could you let me know what my score was? I'm curious. :)

Instead, he said, Brother! I know your hunger.
To this, the Wolf answered, Lo!

Yeah, can I see those I got 0 on as well?

(and how many points did I get? I was clearly more confident than was the case.)
S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse
a persona che mai tornasse al mondo,
questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse.
Ma per ciò che giammai di questo fondo
non tornò vivo alcun, s'i' odo il vero,
senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo.
