South Africa (0.50 pts) -- namida, grams88
Nigeria (0.25 pts) -- mantha16
I had practically the same question in an old feud years ago, but had forgotten about it. I noticed it only during scoring, in the spreadsheet.
3. Name a character from Sonic the Hedgehog games, except Sonic.Tails (1 pt) -- mantha16, namida, 607, grams88, WillLem, IchoTolot, Simon
Pretty confident about this one.
The oldest and most popular side character, makes a lot of sense. Not even Eggman's moustache is remarkable enough to pick Eggman over Tails!
4. Name a popular skill from Lemmings 2.Platformer (1 pt) -- mantha16, namida, WillLem
Fencer (0.33 pts) -- 607

SuperLem is both popular and unpopular.
6. Name a large number.One Million (1 pt) -- namida, IchoTolot, Simon
One Hundred (0.33 pts) -- grams88
Googol (0.33 pts) -- 607
Googolplex (0.33 pts) -- WillLem
Googolplexian (0.33 pts) -- mantha16
Googol
I hope people stick there and don't go for googolplex. It would be cool if someone were to go for one of the less common huge numbers, but I'm not expecting it. Honestly, a thousand or a million or even a dozen could work as well... but I don't think people will think of that.
People didn't stick there and instead went for even more than one variant.
7. Name something that Lemmings fans do that's good for the Lemmings community.Create Levels (1 pt) -- mantha16, namida, 607, grams88, Simon
Create Custom Content (0.20 pts) -- IchoTolot
Play Challenges Together (0.20 pts) -- WillLem
Here, I lumped level creation and
level pack creation together: A level pack is mainly about levels, and grams88 explicitly mentioned the levels in his "Make level packs".
Custom content encompasses tilesets, too, and feels a tad too far off. Although you can make an argument that if tileset creation is different from levels, then packs are also different from levels.
8. Name a profession that entails working outside.Gardener (1 pt) -- mantha16, grams88, IchoTolot, Simon
Landscaper (0.25 pts) -- namida
Roofer (0.25 pts) -- WillLem
Workman (0.25 pts) -- 607
Workman
I thought of gardeners first, but gardeners are a whole lot less common...
9. Name something hollow.A Glass (1 pt) -- 607
Bell (1 pt) -- Simon
Bubble (1 pt) -- WillLem
Easter Chocolate Egg (1 pt) -- grams88
Easter Egg (1 pt) -- namida
Halloween Pumpkin (1 pt) -- IchoTolot
Straw (1 pt) -- mantha16
Wide question and unsurprising that every answer was unique. Chocolate egg and regular Easter egg don't feel similar enough to warrant lumping together.
In hindsight, the question was probably too wide.
10. Name something that people do once per week.Grocery Shopping (1 pt) -- namida, grams88
Clean the House (0.50 pts) -- IchoTolot
Do the Laundry (0.50 pts) -- Simon
Go to Church (0.50 pts) -- 607
Have Sex (0.50 pts) -- mantha16
Have Sunday Dinner (0.50 pts) -- WillLem
I lumped shopping and grocery shopping together. Reason: The weekend shopping is mainly for groceries that don't spoil within days. The weekend shopping can have other items, but none seem frequent enough to make the answer sufficiently different. It feels about as warranted as the decision with (level design) and (pack design) in question 7. Tricky. The decision gave namida the win over me.
