Rules:
---This is a $12 giveaway. If you win, you can pick $12 worth of GOG's of your choice. It could be two $5.99 titles, one $9.99, 4 $2.99's, whatever combination is less than $12.
---Answer the 20 questions.
---You can guess as many times as you like each day. However, keep each set of answers in a separate post. So for example, you can answer all 20 questions, then wait 10 minutes to create a new post with another set of answers.
---Every once in awhile, I will chime in to tell you who has the most answers correct. I will link to their post and you can use that to help you take better guesses.
---The first poster to get all 20 correct, wins the $12 worth of GOG's
---If one of the questions should prove too confusing, I will give the answer away. But I'd rather not.
---Any questions, ask. Good luck!
---Please allow for human error, I might miss one here and there, but I'll do my best. Think of me as a referee/judge in a sport... haha

QC: This is a really goofy question given that there's around 40 options per question, save the last few.
Yep.

Well, not exactly. There's a lot of answers for about half of the questions. For one question, there's, I believe, 3 answers (free GOG game). For 7 questions, there's 10 answers possible (GOG bestsellers).

However, yes, there's a lot of answers for some of them. That's why it 's important to read the post of the person who is currently winning.

I don't know how it will work out, but there have probably been tougher contests than this, and it's my $12 to give away as I see fit...so there! LOL....

Edit: Hesusio had a few right, but it's still rodrolliv in the lead with 5 out of 20 (post 3 overall)!
