Here are the results of Round 2. We had 16 entries.

Question 1 Variety of Beryl

Worth 10 points
Goshenite, Red Beryl and Emerald

Worth 5 points
Aquamarine (6), Morganite (3), Bixbite (2), Heliodor (2)

One of those who answered "Morganite" specified "Pink Morganite". I did not count it as an individual answer. Pink Morganite is not an individual variety of Beryl. All colors of Morganite, which ranges through pinks into subtle purple tints, are colored by the same trace element, Manganese. Because mineral varieties are identified by differing trace elements or conditions of creation, Pink Morganite is not technically a separate variety from any other Morganite. If anyone would like to make a case for Pink Morganite as an individual answer, please just let me know.

Question 2 Jim Henson movie voice credits

Worth 10 points
Muppet Family Christmas, Musicians of Bremen, Hey Cinderella, The Muppet Movie

Worth 5 points
The Great Muppet Caper (2), Muppets Take Manhattan (6)

The answer "Fraggle Rock" was not counted because it was a TV Series. (Unless someone can show me a Fraggle Rock movie, which I haven't been able to find.) Also, two answers of "The Dark Crystal" were thrown out because Henson had only movement credits in that film. One answer of "Muppet Treasure Island" was thrown out because Henson was no longer living at the time of that movie's creation, and so has no credits at all for that film. I had a strong desire to also discount A Muppet Family Christmas, but thought that if I did that, I should also discount Musicians of Bremen and Hey Cinderella, though the former was a Christmas special while the latter two were early made-for-TV short films. I realize, however, that may only be my interpretation, so left all three as valid answers. However, I'm open to discussion on that one. (I perhaps should have been more specific with the question, anyway. Live and learn...)

Question 3 Canadian NHL team

Worth 10 points
None

Worth 5 points
Edmonton Oilers (4), Calgary Flames (3), Toronto Maple Leafs (4), Ottawa Senators (4)

One guess of "Portland Winterhawks" was discounted. That team (the "farm team" for the Chicago Blackhawks,) is a member of the Western Hockey League, once called the "Canadian Western Hockey League" and is based in Portland, Oregon. Two Canadian NHL teams were not picked at all. Those were the Montreal Canadiens and the Vancouver Canucks.

Question 4 John Bellairs "Johnny Dixon" novel

Worth 10 points
Doom of the Haunted Opera

Worth 5 points
The Mummy, the Will and the Crypt (2), Eyes of the Killer Robot (3), The Trolley to Yesterday (3), Revenge of the Wizard's Ghost (2), Spell of the Sorcerer's Skull (2)

"Hand of the Necromancer", "Wrath of the Grinning Ghost" and "The Bell, the Book and the Spellbinder" were disqualified because they were not written by John Bellairs. Another author, after Bellairs' death, finished several of his unfinished novels and went on to write several more in more than one series. This was done with the permission of the estate, and Bellairs is credited on the books because they are his characters, but he had nothing to do with the actual writing of them. Again, I'll leave that open to discussion. I had no idea I'd picked so many controversial topics. Additionally, there were three titles not guessed at all.

Question 5 Past or Present member of Jethro Tull

Worth 10 points
John Glascock, David Palmer, Mark Craney, Andrew Giddings

Worth 5 points
Dave Pegg (4), Clive Bunker (3), Martin Barre (2), Doane Perry (2)

One answer of Ian Byrne was thrown out because I can't find that name in reference to Jethro Tull anywhere, and the Jethro Tull website does not include it on it's list of past and present members. Research to prove otherwise?

The Grim was the omen of death and was described as being a large dog, similar to the creature Sirrius would turn into.

He hadn't told anyone about The Grim, not even Ron or Hermione, because he knew Ron would panic and Hermione would scoff. The fact remained, however, that it had now appeared twice, and both appearances had been followed by near fatal acidents, the first time he had nearly been run over by the Knight Bus; the second, fallen fifty feet from his broomstick. Was the Grim going to haunt him until he actually died?.......

1)An actor that has played Dr Who

2)One of the 17 species of penguin

3) One of the McCaughey septuplets

4) One of the Earth's 12 largest islands (excluding Australia as an island)

5) A building that is over 1000 feet tall (304.5 metres). For this question I weill define a building as a structure designed for residential, business or manufacturing purposes. It has to have floors. The definition excludes towers though buildings that have 'Tower/s' as part of their name are acceptable if they meet the definition of building.
