Pink High Priestess noticed that the wording was different this time, and there's a reason for that. Failing to supply a celestial object in any way was technically correct and thus would get you negative points. Poor Companus Mutati had bad luck with the bonus and lost 5 points as a result. Arthralon, on the other hand, despite thinking Wojtek the bear is a celestial object, managed to use it for an additional 7 points. Three of you picked the moon. Conflux is being Conflux. I probably got a virus checking Longbowe's answer because apparently there's a person named Byul who's a star of the non-celestial sort.

No movement at the bottom. Peken and looneylew trade places, but this time Peken's only holding a one-point lead. It's still quite a contest for the lead, and a fair number of bonuses haven't even appeared yet. The best performer by rank for the round was Kathol, who gained 9, while Viktor's popular wrong answer cost a total of 8 spots. Next time: I was honestly expecting this question to be worse.
