But the longer we wait to submit our answers, the more time we'll have to think about what the answers are ;P

I do have all of my answers ready to submit, but imma wait until the last day to actually submit them in case I remember some of the answers that I knew at one time but forgot.
 
I hope I can still sign up... You'll have the answers shortly.
 
Gunner forced me to join.
