There was ONE person who got all the answers correct for the 10 quiz questions. That person is @iamthegray.

Contest Reward:

I transferred the contest prize of 1 SBD to @iamthegray. Well done for doing a perfect job answering those 10 questions correctly.

Some people almost got the 10 questions correctly, but they made only one or two mistakes. The most missed questions were numbers 5 and 8. I am showing below the correct answers of all 10 questions and a couple of notes under both questions 5 and 8 to explain the correct answer.
