Finally, on Day Five, the empire strikes back. These guys had crushed absolutely every question I threw at them. Yesterday, I'd posted the question at 1:30 a.m. and had six correct answers by 3:10 a.m.

Today? Donovan Neil, his system back from the dead, had the correct answer in eight minutes. Then I waited.

And waited.

For an hour and a half. That's when I received the second correct answer. In between the two correct answers, there were four wrong ones.

Keith Marsteller, aka DQ Trivia Guru (not that that's anything to be proud of, necessarily) didn't send in his answer until five o'clock, nearly two hours after I posted the question, and it was still worth fifteen points.

So congratulations to Keith, who wins the Xbox 360, and also congratulations to Pete Heizer, who wins a copy of The Movies for second place.

Oh, and by the way, the answer to yesterday's question was Fatal Frame II. Truly a terrifying, wonderful experience.

Today's correct answer? Just read the post directly below the question post. It's titled "Death to Duets Involving Creatures Made From Felt."

Thanks very much to all of you who participated in the contest.
