Willets' post was disregarded and penalized (-5) points for violating the more than one guess per post rule.

[seawolf17]

Because you didn't follow the rules.

Ooooooh. Mr. Reads a book a day is too busy to read the rules to this stupid trivia contest.

Read it again. I wrote that people had beat me to guesses as I was hitting submit.

There was only one guess and that was for Staub.
