So for today, any new contestant into TODAYS contest will get 10 points if they are right. 5 points for just entering. That will help the newbie get right into the game! Oh..and I did say something about the recruits didn't I? They will get 1 point per person for recruiting a new contestant as long as the contestant gives their answer in comments along with your name if your recruited them.
