a strong preference in that town. I entered Seattle, but I was quite
sure the HQ was elsewhere - I just could not remember exactly where.
I felt less bad when I saw other entrants when for the same answer.

No, due to the fact that it used to be the right answer.
The question was also misscored; 5 people gave each of the two answers,
but 7 out of 10 people got the point for saying "Seattle".
Again assuming that Calvin is already off-net, here's a score table
corrected for these errors (and for the TB error, but this time it
doesn't affect the winner).
