Yeah, I have no idea how many we left blank. We didn't have enough time to make sense of our giant list of answers at the end, so we ended up having to choose our final suspect essentially fifty-fifty from the two names that showed up most often. We ended up getting 7th.

Thoughts on the national results? I think everyone did a great job :D I was not suprised when Solon won in both B and C divisions, and very suprised PJG and WM didn't place top ten. Gelinas was a surprise, but I don't think Ward Melville has ever been top ten. We tend to treat Nats like a reward fo...
