Likewise, for a real or fictional business, > you must give the full name as commonly used. A number of entrants scored 0 on some questions because they ignored this rule (or just didn't know the rest of the name). I did not specify this time how I would deal with badly spelled answers. I decided to ignore minor errors, but when there was only one key word in an answer and it was misspelled, I allowed only ½ point. I also allowed ½ point for a correct but less than fully specific (and non-thematic) answer on one question. > 14 years, 1980-93.
