2. Are you a male?
3. Are you over 18?
4. What is the last castle set you paid over $50 for?
5. What's the castle set you paid the most for (ever)?
6. Do you have a webpage of your castle creations?
7. What is your favorite castle set ever?
_______________________________________________________________________________

My answers:

1. No
2. No
3. No
4. 6091
5. 6090
6. Yes
7. 6090
_______________________________________________________________________________

My estimates of the answers that will be given (humoristic note ;-)

1. Yes - 75%, No - 25%
3. Yes - 99%, No - me (seriously, any girlurkers out there? Tamy is the only
girl I know about that has Castle creations but she's not very active here...)
2. Yes - 99%, No - me
4. 6091 - 70%, 6097 - 20%, 6090 - 5%, Other - 5%
5. Hmm... I have no idea
