Once again, the many contributors here at CBM crammed themselves into the chat room for this week's
Beat Galactus Quiz. We had over 50people once again, and as always, a fierce battle of wits took place. Anyone who is looking for a new internet provider needs to talk with
Zack1991 as he took home the prize. The kids answered with lightening-fast speed. He will be the recipient of a
Galactus Box of Wonders as well as a t-shirt from the generous old man man of
CBMTrolls, Gusto, who sponsored the quiz.
As I mention in the previous quiz rundown, I am human, and I do make mistakes and I will also acknowledge them when I do. I learned a few things today during the quiz and I thank those who were so generous to point that out! Despite my diligent research, you, the real fans were able to the correct answers for me! If there were any discrepancies that arose during the quiz, I will make note of them below, so you can add in your two cents (or two dollars for some of you). I will include this info in order for you all to get a better understanding of the rules of the game and will hopefull make thisng run a bit smoother next time.
