I'd just like to say that we really need to limit the shitposting on this thread (luckily most of the creators have deleted them). Funny posts/posts with actually substance are fine, but stupid posts with no value that make the reader cringe reading it is unacceptable.
Also, since multiple people are in charge of keeping track of points, use this pastebin: http://pastebin.com/ds2BSveL as a guide to post official results, to make things easier for the people tracking points.

"Oh wow, that was easy compared to the rest of this! I was expecting something MUCH harder!"
