Each correct answer is worth 10 points, but be careful to use all the blanks because a slip will cost you a 1 point deduction.  The maximum number of points for this section is 210.

Thanks for the quiz! I probably should’ve gotten the clue from the text, but while puzzling, I suddenly noticed the letters between the blanks spell out beverages and drink ingredients! Nicely done.

I guess I was too focused on solving the puzzles to notice before. I have the good Baron’s quiz in the background. We’re served well in the puzzle department, here on the boards.

Great! A puzzle I can do well at last (part I at least…)

Thanks for this refreshing entertainment!

Here’s our first cool player’s score:

Part 1 - An Icy One, Please!
Vegetable Party - 130

Part 2 - Cool Shades

Please note that I’ve added a missing space to the end of #10.  Thanks to Phlebas for catching that. 

Phlebas just commandeered all the ice!

Doom just brought in a cooler full of cold ones!

Doom - 210

Vegetable Party - 130

Part 2 - Cool Shades

Please note that I neglected to put spaces for the at the beginning of #14 in part 1, which leads to an entirely different type of game with the same title.  I have added the spaces but will not penalize anyone who leaves it out.

Phlebas is the first to model the cool shades.

No, there’s no penalty for an incorrect guess of the Shades.
