Almost a rare 10 for 10 until the last question derailed me. As an Eagle Scout this was a gimmie for me. I believe my former scoutmaster was a recipient some years ago.

Actually there is no "book of Corinthians". There are two epistles (books), 1 and 2 Corinthians; the passage in question comes from 1 Corinthians chapter 13. Not to nitpick or anything. :mrgreen:

Q6, about the Red and White Seas, makes me think of Matt Marcotte from the early days of primetime BAM. Matt's $250K question asked which of four colors (Red, White, Coral, and Topaz) was NOT the name of a Sea. Matt's PAF answered correctly, and Matt won the $250K. Matt was a really fun contestant, too.
