Wait, would you care to mention the correct answers, as well? I'm really wondering how I only got 3 points... I mean, I should have two incorrect answers (I'm pretty sure about "23" and "Spades" F and what other? Because I did not guess for 2, 3, 4 or 5, which would mean I cannot be incorrect. In other words, I should have 8 points, unless avoiding guessing for an answer is not allowed, which is not mentioned anywhere.

I must add...

The way the incorrect thing works is that even if you did not guess that is classed as an incorrect answer as it is not right.

That's a bit unfair. I mean, look at the others with -12 points, just 'cause one cannot know every trivial question. Plus, I'd have to have -2, and the others should have... wait, I can't know; please post the correct answers, not only because points are concerned (not to mention this is a game where cheating is extremely easy, and, since it cannot be stopped, any way to effectively decrease its efficiency should be encouraged - the fact that one loses points with incorrect answers is the very opposite, as answers end up having the value of 10, or even 13 points... if you're against its removal, please at least make it a minus 2 or minus 3, not minus five), but also because I'm curious.
