Ryoko Forever Fan Club
First Official Contest Results

Congratulations! A well-deserved win if ever there was one.

Analysis of the Entries

Happosai won because, out of all the entrants, he was the only one to get all the answers right. Quick breakdown by numbers:

You may be wondering why the table adds up to 8 when there were only 7 legitimate entries. Two words: Lisa Vu. Her entry was sent in so long after the deadline that it crossed my "time's up" message in the post. What's more, the inspired cluelessness of her answers had me rolling on the floor when I was supposed to be tallying the entries. It would have been a terrible miscarriage of comedy to have left her out of the final reckoning.

An honorable mention also goes to Sayoko, who appears to have discovered The Ultimate Truth about the origins of Tenchi Muyo. See question 7.

I think both deserve a consolation prize for their entries. Therefore, in the spirit (hic) of the Chief Bottlewasher, I present Lisa and Sayoko with a year's supply of Ryoko's used sake bottles. That's a year for us, of course; Ryoko knocked this lot back in an hour.

The Questions And Their Answers

Q1. Name a fanfic (title and author) in which Ryoko doesn't drink and Tenchi is a hentai creep.

5 entrants had the right answer. Some apparently thought that the reference to Tenchi as a "hentai creep" meant the story itself must be hentai, which was not the case. Regardless, the most important clue was "Ryoko doesn't drink". There aren't many stories like that.

Martin Van Assche: "Cheap shot, O great bottlewasher. He'll get that one for sure." I'm sure BGlanders would have, had he entered!

Lisa Vu: "Ryoko doesn't drink? Than it's not really a Tenchi Fan Fic, I refuse to answer!"

Q2. Why did the gem explode when Tenchi cut off Ryoko's hand, but not when Katsuhito did the same thing?

Everyone got this one right - not too surprising, since it was discussed on the mailing list a while back. Well, almost everyone...

Lisa Vu: "Uh...wrong hand?"

Q3. In which episode did Ryoko, in a red leotard and white boots, deliver a flying kick to a very surprised Tenchi?

5 entrants had this one right, and then there was...

Lisa Vu: "In every Ryoko fans' dreams...oh! My bad, did I say that out loud..."

Q4. Which one of the Five-colour-Fudo temples did Ryoko visit?

Trying to figure out the right answer to this question by watching the movie is very hard. Fortunately, the answer can be found in the Research Book Section of the Jurai Royal Library. Unfortunately, they also miss one of the temples (Sasami visits two).

Lisa Vu: "Uh...the pink one?"

Q5. What is Ryoko's waist measurement?

For some reason, everyone got this one right. Um, except...

Lisa Vu: "A girl never reveals"

Q6. What did Tenchi give Ryoko after the destruction of her personal dream world?

This was another one that everyone got right... almost...

Lisa Vu: "His heart...aww...what? He didn't?! That JERK!!! Destroy her dreams!! *Takes out shotgun* (evil grin) hehehehe"

Q7. Name the two people co-credited for the original concept of "Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki".

However, intrepid RFFC investigator Sayoko has discovered that the real origins of Tenchi Muyo have actually been faked...

Sayoko: "Well, it all happened one night. Ryoko and Aeka somehow managed to sneak into the Pioneer studio, not knowing that the other one was there. The Pioneer script writers used those voice pad things that enables the computer to type what they say, instead of doing it the old fashioned way. Well, both Ryoko and Aeka had on those headphones with the microphones when they happened to bump into each other. As usual, the two started to fight, and the computers logged everything they said. When they finally took notice that dawn was approaching, they couldn't change what had been said, so they quickly departed. When the producers read what had been written, they congradulated the authors and gave them all a raise, not knowing who had really written the script."

Lisa Vu: "Uh...is it Tenchi and Ryo-ohki?"

Q8. At which web site can you be killed by a vengeful Ryoko?

This question turned out to be the killer of the set (pun intended); only 2 entrants had the right answer. Several suggested the RFFC site, citing Shin RFFC: No Need for a Fanclub, but that doesn't qualify: the question specifies a vengeful Ryoko, and Ryoko isn't vengeful in Shin RFFC, she's merely having too much fun.

Lisa Vu: "There's a site like that?! KAWAII!!!" Uh, Lisa, I think you're looking for a word like sugoi or kakko ii. You could also describe this site as kowai, but definitely not kawaii!
