My team at Cancel Bowl this past summer
(Princeton) got our 1st 40 to my knowledge by answering
Philip K. Dick on a "Name the author" bonus. It came at
an auspicious time, since we were mounting a late
game comeback and I think that brought us within 10.
Still lost by 20 or 30 IIRC, but the other team seemed
annoyed (and understandably so) at that lucky guess
:).
