Would you like to win a copy of Hope in the Dark? All you have to do is refer the most people to this little short answer quiz.

Here’s the deal: the g-phrase is a teacher. Her students are doing some kind of a project and they need people to answer a series of questions that they came up with. These are somewhat younger kids, so no harsh critiques. No profanity or non-family-friendly answers allowed. Use your creativity to fill in the blanks, make it fun, and help a poor teacher out. The deadline for this contest is April 31, 2007 and the top 3 referrers will win copies of Hope in the Dark.

To qualify, link to this post and let me know that you’re playing. Your own answer counts for your total, but for all other entries to count, they must indicate the site from which they were referred. If you have any questions, let me know. The questions are in the extended entry, and please limit answers to a few paragraphs per question.

1. What will happen in the future?
2. What is your definition of a planet?
3. Will they ever put microchips in humans? Would it be a good idea?
4. Why do you love America?
5. Do you think there are aliens (of the extra-terrestrial type)?
6. What do you care about most?
7. What effect does human society have on the extinction of animals?
8. Will there be a new kind of animal?
