I think he was and that might be part of the re-calculating.

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Mon Nov 28, 2016 1:16 pm

Pierre and Justin were both correct answers. I think Sabo was the only one to specify "Pierre" while everyone else said Justin or just the last name. For now, I'm giving Sabo a point and all the other Trudeaus get 11. If there are others that honestly wanted to say Pierre, let me know. My bad.
