Rules and Requirements:
Exam ends at midnight CST June 30th with search resources unlimited (open book). Links or screen shots must be posted for validating source of each answer given. Simply guessing without an accompanying source link/screen shot will receive no credit (I've got the links from which I formulated these questions so I know they exist and remain out there to be found again). In addition, members will not get credit for answers related to questions of which they are the subject or subject matter owner.
Correct answers for each numbered question or grouped questions is worth an aggregate of 1 pt.; i.e. Single questions = 1 pt. Two combined questions under the same listed question number are worth 1/2 pts. each; similarly Three combined questions are worth 1/3 pts. each; and Four combined questions are worth 1/4 pts. each. (it's very simple math fractions, I promise)
The member having the highest combined score by midnight June 30th Central Standard Time by providing the first posting of the correct answers (and accompanying source links/screen shots) will be awarded the prize listed below. I anticipate being able to grade/validate the winning member's submitted answers and announce the winner on the 4th of July (may take longer if I decide on the spur of the moment to take a vacation or something.)
If a tie should occur (god, what would be the odds?) the tie breaker will be whoever has the higher Rep points per Post count ratio.
The Prize is a token of LPF History and a work of art by master laser builder Ehgemus: Custom 445 Build
Disclaimer: $100 Bill is not included in the prize
Note: You might want to keep this under wraps as the more who know the stiffer the competition will be.

I am calling the Winner to be ARG!
Congratulations as you have racked up 20+ points out of a highest possible score of 32 which leaves less than 12 points to be claimed, effectively eliminating everyone else from the game.
I've posted the answers within the second post below. Thanks a bunch all you guys for making LPF what it is today.
BTW - look at the most users on line statistic on the LPF home page - it looks like we are busting the "most on line record" continuously since just after 2pm today.
