Right, times up quizzists.
You have 15 minutes to get your answers in some sort of order and posted before the judging takes place - even though it seems we have a clear winner at this point.

SpeedBadger in second with a commendable 3 & 1/2
And by virtue of being the only other person to submit answers, His Lordship completes the rostrum.


Prizes to be decided and updated later
