Star Trek Message Forum

Hallo All,

After seeing somebody's post on the forum that they don't have a clue to any of the answers of the questions, I'm willing to give a few hints.

The person who said they didn't have a clue to any of the answers did actually get one of the answers correct, but could you please email the answers to me and not put them on the forum? Then no-one else can see your answers.

This Trivia Competition was thought out to try and make it fun and interesting, which I hope with these hints, it will be.

Please email your answers to me by 6 PM the 10th of May. So on the 11th I can post the winners and the funniest answers.
