Well, that was a huge turnout, wasn't it? :)
Answers:
1. 1,048,576 (1 Kilobyte is 1,024 bytes, and 1 Megabyte is 1,024 Kilobytes. Lousy binary system making everything a power of 2)

2. Kakuro (Sudoku is the "other" popular puzzle)

3. Sixaxis (It contains 3-dimensional motion sensors, similar to the Wii's controller)

4. Glenn (Could be Glen, not sure... either way, giggidy giddigy)

5. The Omen (6/6/06 look familiar?)

6. Madame Speaker (For the first time in US history, the Speaker of the House of Representatives is a woman. Politically, she is technically the most powerful woman in the history of the US, as the Speaker can become President if the President and Vice President are both unable to hold the office. Sorry, Hillary...)

7. Krikkit (The book points out that the Earth game cricket is considered by most in the universe to be a VERY tasteless irony.)

8. Sid Meier (NOBODY got this one?)

9. 12 (Thus proving that you CAN fold a sheet of paper more than 7 times)

10. Crimestoppers Inc. (Wow, they work hard don't they?)

Bonus:
$20 (Trick question, of course... but you'd be surprised how many people get stumped at bars with this one.)

The winner: Adam Carter, with 6/10 plus the bonus.

Hey Serges, just watched the Mythbusters.. The high school girl folded the TP only lengthwise, thus not actually breaking the myth of 7 folds. But the MythBusters were able to fold their paper 11 times, With the fold, turn 90 degrees, fold again method. :D

I saw that too, Raven... where the heck do you think I learned the world record for paper-folding? :)

And semantically speaking... there was never a stipulation specifically stating you must fold the paper in different directions for it to qualify :)
