The 20 questions are broken down into 4 categories.  1-5 Cartoon / 6-10 Comic / 11-15 Toy / 16-20 Trick Questions.

Out of the 20 questions, there were several questions that appeared easy.  However there were a few that came up like a Cobra snake in the grass and bit our contestants.  We have documented a few answers that gave some of our Joe fans trouble.

1) Battle

2) Steeler, Grunt or Clutch (any one would do)

3) Yes

4) Chris Latta

5) Hector Ramirez

6) Yes  ( See this link to Yo Joe! for more info.     Instead of stating a "yes" answer, a few contestants answered "no" but did explained how Rocky was initially considered but later was retracted.  All of these explanations were accepted as correct regardless of the initial "no" answer.)

7) Zanya

8) Snake Eyes

9) Fred

10) Stalker

11) 1982

12)  No

13) G.I. Joe

14) Yes ( or India would do)

15) Brazil

16) Yes ( Correct Picture)

17)  Dead ( Error by the comic cover artist )

18) Yes or  Cool Breeze ( Correct Picture )

19) None ( There was no figure released with the 1982 FIRST RELEASE JUMP.  The Silver Grand Slam was later packaged with the JUMP in 1983.  Many people got this trick question correct.  But there were several contestants that only missed one question.  This was the question that got them.  Two key words were first release and 1982.  See the link to Yo Joe! for more info. )

20) None ( The Destro repainted figure pictured was released in Europe named Jackal.)

   Let's see how you stack up against our Finalist...

1.Bree Van Mark
2. Falcon or Sgt. Slaughter or Red Dog or Mercer, or Taurus.   (Any one of these would do.)
3.rule
4.Leatherhead,Ship Shape, Frog Face
5. The Mass Device  episode 3  The worms of death
6.Admiral George Lattimer
7.Panic At The North Pole
8. It was named after the late General Flagg
9.Scrap Iron ( a great sacrifice by the Soft Master, but ulitimatly his death was in vein.  This question was not meant to be tricky,  but some thought and remember the Hard Master's death.)
10.Ripcord
11. Dr. Mindbender ( Also know as Dr. Brainwave in this particular issue.)
12.issue 21
13.none
14.Target
15.1993  (This one was missed 9 times!  Perhaps there weren't that many opened Manimals too see the date markings on their  bodies.   We had to break open a carded one just to show proof. See pic).
16.Brazil
17.Cobra Missile Command Headquarters ( Many missed this one too.)
18.none
19.yes (one example:  stamped on the lower backs of the first full Hall Of Fame wave .) 
20.yes ( Several got this one right, but for the wrong reason. The stamp on the figures itself is what we were asking. Like on the 30th Ann. Commemorative  3-3/4 figures.  Many answered "yes" and then explained the 1994 numbered back cards.  These contestants still got the answer right because all we were looking for was a "yes".  We did not need any explanation, as long as there was a "yes" they were covered.  See pic.)
21.Mexico
22.Ninja Holiday ( One of the most difficult questions but easy if you have a set of 30th Ann. card sets.  Questions 21-24 all taken from the card set.)
