Here are the answers to the contest entry questions based on Starwinds Howl

    Who named Krypto?

    • 1 - Pa Kent
    • 2 - Jor-El
    • 3 - Kal-El
    • 4 - Lara

    3 - The infant Kal-El, when he first saw the white puppy that Jor-El had brought home, gave him the name "Krypto."

    What is the meaning of the Kryptonian word "Krypton"?

    • 1 - Ice
    • 2 - 'Kryp' and 'Tonn', two space explorers
    • 3 - The 36th element on the periodic table
    • 4 - A kind of bicycle lock

    This one was a bit of a trick question.  In the story, both 1 and 2 were offered as explanations.  We accepted 1, 2, or 3 (which is also technically correct) in answer to this question - but not 4 because the bicycle lock is actually called "Kryptonite," not "Krypton."

    What other dogs were Krypto's companions in outer-space?

    • 1 - Nip, Yowl, and Boof
    • 2 - Skip, Demian, and Astro
    • 3 - Ace, Corky, and Comet

    1 - Nip, Yowl, and Boof were Krypto's pirate-dog compatriots.

    How much do you like Krypto?

    • 1 - Krypto? Who's that?
    • 2 - A little bit.
    • 3 - A whole lot.
    • 4 - RAFF RAFF RAFF!

    We apologize for the obviousness of this one - 4 is, of course, the best answer and will have the best chance of winning.  3 is an acceptable answer, but those entries will be assigned a lower weight in the random selection process.  Sorry, but 1 and 2 will not be considered!

The lucky winner will be randomly selected from all of the correctly answered entries during the first week of April and then notified.  Odds of being selected are approximately 1 in 800.  Thanks again to everyone for entering!
