While I haven't provided that kind of information in a while, I might as well, to encourage people to enter these things. Six entries got them all correct and there were about 30 entries altogether. So, even though literally dozens of thousands of people visit the site each day, it's closer to a few dozen who take the time to enter a contest. Just goes to show you that with a little bit of effort, a UD contest could easily be yours to win!

Wow, those are amazingly good odds, Luke! Thanks for posting! Woohoo! If memory serves, I was one of those six!

Yes, you were. Good eyes/memory!

I suppose most people may have thought this one was too hard (yet everyone who submitted got more than half right). But it's a tough line to walk between "painless" and "requiring some kind of skill." Hopefully we can have another one before the year ends.

Congratulations to Molly! Wonder what her forum alias is...or is she one of the lucky few in the 30 who actually don't post on the forums, lol...

Like slave2moonlight said, those are amazing odds! Methinks I was a six as well, though I originally was going to say that #7 was Watcher in the Woods (I confused Harry Dean Stanton for one of the characters in WITW).

Any chance the next contest could be a "Caption This!" contest again, Lukester? We haven't had one of those in awhile.

Caption this? Those are fun, but I like my odds better with this. I mean, I can be really funny, but I can also get too edgy at times. Too much Adult Swim, ha. I think that's why my hilarious captions never won me a Monstervision T-Shirt from TNT.

The only one that threw me for a while was the last one, "Get a Clue." I was trying and trying to confirm that it was Parent Trap (Lohan version), but then I finally thought of "Get a Clue." I haven't actually seen that movie, though I think I have it on tape somewhere, which is why that was the tricky one for me. Not sure if I've seen Candleshoe either, but I know enough about the cast and all. Seen enough commercials of it on the old Disney Channel I guess. Really need to see that one. All the others were easy though. I found the level of difficulty just right, because I had to really think on that last one, but it wasn't so hard that I couldn't get it, ha.

What were you guys going for? I was trying to win the DVD documentary about Walt. What is it called... "Walt: The Man Behind the Myth" or something like that... I have been wanting that one for a while, but I have never found it at a price I can handle (like the WDW one from the History Channel, or is it A&E...).

I'm no good at those. But then, I'm really no good at picking out screencaps either.

Hey Luke, did I get #8 right? Just curious because I put "Clue" instead of "Get a Clue". :oops:

One Magic Christmas was my second choice for #7, but I couldn't remember if that scene was in the movie, so I guessed Watcher in the Woods. #4 and #5 totally stumped me and I took wild guesses.

I agree this contest was one of the harder ones. I second "Caption This".
