Jenna won the speed challenge - she was probably waiting and watching for the challenge to be announced, and gave JUST the answers (everyone else included the question too ... but just writing the answers would help with the speed portion! Jenna is one of the few that did answer all nine questions, so she didn't skimp there!)

It was interesting to see how everyone responded ... which questions they chose to answer, how they phrased/formatted their responses, and one has to wonder what pictures they would have chosen if that had been part of the challenge (this was a gathering from Facebook/Dropbox, etc). If these same questions were asked of the same individuals in five years, I wonder how the answers would change ...
