dh, you scored 35.5. The half points are from the A & B answer to #6 and the E answers you made up. The highest possible score is 40 and the lowest is 10 (unless someone makes up answers that would have a 0.5 score). I'll explain the score ranges and their significance after more people play (if they do).
