8. Ross

Although the answer Marcjswp provided for #5 wasn't the answer I was looking for...I'll still give it to you. So you guys PASSED this mission!

However, Matt - being second - gets a special reward. He can choose between these 3:
A. The option to see who each eliminated contestant guessed on their final quiz.
B. The option to -4 from TWO PEOPLE'S quiz score on their next quiz.
C. The option to see what each person put on their application.

Which one he chooses (and who he subtracts from) will NOT be disclosed to anyone else.

Seeing as he's not online and I want to get on with the quiz, I'm going to NOT count his time on the quiz. So while the rest of you are sending in your quiz results, he'll first choose an option, I'll give the details, and then he takes the quiz.

Time won't matter on his, but it will the rest of you! So here's your quiz
