(NOTE: At this point in the paper copy, some questions are crossed out, and others renumbered. To make the anthropology more confusing, the last two pages aren't numbered as part of the preceding 100+ questions, but separately as "Final Questions," which were designed to start at 7:20 AM. We may safely presume that the four crossed-out questions were bagged. But whether the Pros from Dover actually got through all 106 numbered questions before switching to the 12 "Final Questions" (118 questions-- is it possible?) will be problematic to ascertain all these years later. Still, if they really felt they could get through 12 questions in 40 minutes, as their 7:20 start time indicates, that's 120 questions in less than 7 hours. So it is conceivable. A 118-question pace would be unheard of today.)

You're on Candid Camera!"
