(From the quiz sheet:)
"This July, APHC celebrates its 10th anniversary of live

Since I've only been listening to APHC relegiously for a
few months now, I'm baffled by all of these questions,
so if anybody knows some of the answers please post them (with
a *SPOILER*).
Good luck, and give your cat a hug for me.
