That depends on exactly how he's calculating things. If it's by
summing the other correct answers to the questions then it's a tie
(assuming Erland's answer to c is ignored). If it's by comparing
single hardest question first, then second, etc., you would beat me.

I have read the other posts. I believe Dan, Dan, and Marc bring up valid points. And given that one entrant has abdicated, I believe my initial ruling should stand.
 
Dan, at your leisure.
