And it's The Washington Post by a landslide! They won 6 Pulitzer Prizes for a clear majority. That means that the answer to question #4 in the prognostication quiz is D.
We now have a single leader for the first time! Matthew B. now leads the field with 2 points. Only two other people (Jon and Sandy) picked The Washington Post. That makes 11 people tied for second place with 1 point. The remaining fifteen contestants (your correspondent included) have yet to pick something correctly.
Next up is the Stanley Cup (question 5). This is one of only five questions in the quiz where each of the six answers was picked at least once. Matthew B. was alone amongst those with points in picking the Anaheim Ducks to go all the way. Sadly, they are losing in the first round of the playoffs (0-2 in the best-of-seven series). So it looks like one (or more) will tie Matthew B. in early June. The most likely outcomes are probably C. Detroit (#1 seed in the West), D. San Jose (#2 seed in the West), or E. another Eastern Conference team. The intramarital grudge match between Liz and Jeff might heat up, as Liz picked Detroit (along with Grant) and Jeff was partial to the Eastern Conference (along with Sandy and Ekrem). (Orlando was the only person with 1 point to choose San Jose.)
