A master sheet of team responses survives, in the form of columns and checkmarks.

For Question #1, General Morgasm, Alphabet Soup, a team labelled "SD," Hold the Anchovies, and a mystery team (looks sort of like "Scout") got all the enlisted men. Harlem River Drive and Universal Exports got five; Bomo got 3.

For Question #2, Morgasm, Soup, "SD," Anchovies, Exports and "Scout" (?) got all the officers. Harlem and "Barf" got three, and Bomo missed three but got "McHale" (way to go!).

Top teams not represented (or deciphered) here include Knights of Ni (5th), Wingnuts (6th), Twelve O'Clock High (7th), and Mrs. Guano (8th).
