I can't believe nobody put "War of Puerto Rican Independence" for Q2. You guys are dumb.

Answers forthcoming.

We have everyone except JYD. This week set a record for most number of wrong answers due to reading the question wrong. I also think Diamond came up with the most devious question that was probably still fair enough to be included. I'm stalling while I'm taking a dump, if you haven't noticed.

I'm psyched but a little surprised to get that "honor". I always thought of the 100m free as the marquee event in swimming, certainly not at a level w/100m in track and field but a high-profile event. Granted, I've never heard of the guy I answered but there's some well-known names here.
