Inverse-Scoring QuestionsJust for reference, anyone who gave an invalid answer was informed of such and given an opportunity to submit a different answer. All such entrants had replied (though in some cases without giving a new answer), so I take this as confirmation that they're aware their answer wasn't accepted. And for the record, no points have been deducted for initially giving an invalid answer then later changing to a valid one - only the final answer has been taken into account.
I will be listing these from
highest scoring downwards, not
most popular downwards. I will also list all the answers that I would've accepted as valid.
