I gave 1 point for each right (or basically right) answer and 1/2 point for each partially right or incomplete answer.
Congrats to our winner
Andy M.! (He won by a very slim margin - If only buckytom specified asparagus tongs instead of just vegetable tongs I would have given him that extra 1/2 pt and it would have been a tie!)
Unfortunately I'm going out of town for a few days and will have to deal with the prizes when I get back.
Nobody got 7 or 17 right and only one person got 4 and 19. Everyone got 8.
When I played at my future MIL's party I guessed that #3 was a chocolate curler... while it's not the correct answer, I'd bet it would work great for it. I'm sure I'll end up using most of these gadgets for purposes other than what they were intended for, and I'll probably end up taking some of your ideas!
Thanks to everyone who played, this was a blast!
