Think Different 13: Triskaidekaphobia

[jaspattack]

It's not too late for an unlucky Think Different, is it? Here's a reminder of the rules:

1. You have 10 questions that you try to guess a correct answer for.
2. The catch is that the goal is to get the fewest number of points. The way you earn points is for each correct answer you give, you will earn the number of points equal to the number of people who guessed that answer. So, for instance, if your answer to Question 1 is Thomas Jefferson and 3 other people guessed that answer, you would earn 4 points for that question (1 for yours and 3 for the others). If you get the answer wrong, you earn the number of points equal to the number of participants plus 5 points (i.e. if there are 13 participants, you get 18 points). The best attainable score is 10 points.
3. There are two bonuses you could use to replace an answer: DROP and SHEEP. DROP means you earn 1 point for that question. SHEEP means you earn the number of points equal to the answer that the most people answered. So for instance, if the correct answers were A, B, C, and D, and 7 people guessed A, 6 people guessed B, 3 people guessed C, and 2 people guessed D, then the people who said SHEEP would earn 7 points for the answer (your SHEEP doesn't count as an answer and doesn't affect the others' scores). You get only 1 of each bonus if you so choose to use them. It is advised that you use DROP before SHEEP. Again, you don't have to use either of these bonuses.
4. Please send your responses to me via private messaging on the Forums or through Discord DMs before November 13th, 2020 at 13:00 EST (12:00 noon CST). Any answers sent after that point will not be considered.
5. Make sure not to cheat, please. Cheating is defined as letting other users know what your answers are before the deadline is reached. For this game, you may use any sources to find your answers (i.e. the wiki, Google, etc.).
6. Users can change their answers before the due date arrives, but after the due date, answers may not be changed.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this superstitious Think Different! We had ten participants in all, a nice round number. Some of these questions might not seem to fit the theme, so I'll provide a little explanation about my reasoning for each question.

Question 1: Name one of the thirteen individuals or organizations awarded a Nobel Prize in 2013. If the prize was awarded to a group of individuals, pick one of them as your answer.
Backstory: While this is a Think Different game after all, it does take place on Scioly.org. It's only fitting that I have a question at least tangentially related to science, especially when it so perfectly fits with the number 13.

Question 2: Name a phase of the moon.
Backstory: This one I think is relatively self-explanatory. The moon is surrounded by superstition in a wide variety of cultures, with there being a lot of commotion about things happening during full moons.

Third Quarter and Last Quarter were counted as the same answer, because they're the same thing.

Question 3: Name a Friday the 13th that occurred between 1913 and 1920, inclusive.
Backstory: Again, a little obvious. Friday the 13th is widely regarded as an incredibly unlucky day, probably at least partially due to Jason and his escapades at Camp Crystal Lake.

Question 6: Name a musician or band that has released an album called "Thirteen". Submissions relating to albums titled "13" will not be accepted.
Backstory: Similar to the Nobel question, this just has to do with the number 13. We can't be all spooky all the time.
