I'll let this run until sometime later today (probably this evening) so get your answers in if you'd like to win the prize!

A couple of hints:

1. Nobody has answered all 10 of the JK knives questions correctly, but one person is very close to having them answered correctly.


2. Nobody has answered all of the bonus questions correctly, but one person is very close to having the right answers to the bonus questions.


I think the questions were far more difficult than I had imagined them to be, so I'll award the prize to the person who gets the most correct answers total (JK knives trivia and bonus questions).


In case of a tie (number of correct answers) I will award the prize to the person with the earliest time stamp on their post. I think that is the fair way to do this.
