In Reply to: LAST CRUSADE trivia contest WINNERS! (Sadly, it ended early...with good reason.) posted by Adam on October 10, 1997 at 19:16:43:
Here they all are. The solutions to those damn annoying questions. Hope you enjoyed them.
Scores are determined by the number of correct answers. BONUS questions do not subtract from your score, but add to it like extra credit. There were 100 questions, and 20 bonus questions; therefore, a PERFECT SCORE WAS 120, but you needed at least a 100 points and be one of the top 5 scores to win a prize. With some answers involving numbers/dates, I was a little more forgiving.

According to LAST CRUSADE's telling of the legend, there are six degrees or levels of awareness in the Grail quest -- each degree is represented by an animal. Name ALL the animals, in order (THREE POINTS), and what they each represent (THREE POINTS).
