In fact -- and this kind of blows, from my perspective -- a couple of people missed just one answer, and still had to go home without a star. Yep, the field was so strong this time that a perfect score wasn't good enough. You had to be the first one to a perfect score.
Sidebar: Blythe, you know that guessing is better than leaving an answer blank, don't you? Sure you do. Also, you should check Brueghel out. He's the bomb.
Winners
So, with no further ado:
The Gold Star goes to quiz legend Rex Parker, the 166th greatest crossword solver in the universe, who now has eight stars in his trophy case after eight quizzes. It is his second gold.
The Silver Star goes to Jessica, representin' the Pennsylvania contingent with panache.
The Blue Star is the second of its hue to end up in Korea, in Heatherbee's trophy case.
Two Green Stars stay in beautiful Portland, Oregon, City of Roses. One goes down the hall to the delightful Mrs. 5000, and the other across the river to quiz stalwart Rebel.
Via cross-country satellite hookup, we were able to obtain this image of Rex (left, back to camera) celebrating his win:
It's lonely at the top.

Er—I mean, congratulations to the winners!
Now THAT is "Nighthawks" by Edward Hopper! Sweet.

Blue matches my interior decor better than gold or silver, anyway. :)
God, I love Hopper.
Well played, everyone.
Nicely done and fun, too.
I'm staying up late next Wednesday to see if I can scoop everyone! Of course I'm sure it will "dictators of the 4th century" or some other category I'm equally ignorant of. =P
'Till then, I wear my little green star with pride.
