: I hope you guys enjoyed these trivia questions...I sure enjoyed making them. This will indeed be the LAST trivia contest I post -- at least until the hopeful release of INDY IV -- so I hope you all enjoyed it. Special thanks go out to Indiana Magnoli, again, for donating the Grail replica (and for the record, he's playing the game like everyone else; I won't give him any clues or answers), and to Micah Johnson, for letting posts like these be possible.
