If Pete Gayde has posted his answers on time, he would have scored
4 points on Round 9 and 20 on Round 20, for a final score of 106,
moving him up to 5th place.
 
On the tiebreaker game, only one guess was allowed per entrant
(I forgot to say that explicitly, but it was implied by the scoring).
Using Pete's first answers, he would have scored 4 points, taking
2 each off Joshua and Dan Tilque, and finished 4th.
