The topic tree for this week:
Monday-Potpourri
Tuesday-Sports
Wednesday-Science
Thursday-Literature
Friday-Man of the Year-bonus
The point value is 1-3-5-7 for Monday-Thursday. The Friday bonus scoring will be explained then.
When I post the question, answer it and assign a point value. Use each point value only once. If you do not assign a point value, I will assign the lowest value that you have available to your answer.
Here is Monday's potpourri question:
What icon did Harvey Ross Ball invent in 1963 for the State Mutual Life Assurance Company of Worcester, Massachusetts?

I think it's probably the yellow smiley face symbol, but I'm not sure, so I'll bet only 5 points.

I'll guess that this was the original name of AFLAC and go with the duck.

The yellow smiley face! I used this in my August 2000 QoD! I guess it help that I work for the company who likes to pimp it... well, before they replaced him with the dreaded Splat....

I'll bet one point, as I really don't know the answer, though I have a guess. Sports will probably kill me tomorrow.

For 1 point, that yellow happy face thing that appears in strange places, like water towers, lapel buttons, and stickers.
I like the looks of this spoiler better than all the black lines.
