Hey, so everyone got the correct answer :) Who should I award the solved to? – Chess960 Jun 04 '18 at 01:05

3For puzzles with multiple pieces like this one, some people award the checkmark to the person who contributed the most correct solutions (and optionally give more weight to harder entries, to help break ties.) It's nice to specify a rule in advance, but not necessary. This reduces the angst in picking which answer to accept. Of course, sometimes the person with the most contributions makes the decision an easy one by consolidating all the solutions (with credit to their posters) into their own answer, which is also fine. As is a community wiki, if someone is ok forgoing rep. – Rubio Jun 04 '18 at 01:08

1As I've said before - The Lion King is Hamlet with slightly fewer murders and slightly more incest. – User1000547 Jun 04 '18 at 15:05

The answers to "Cars" is slightly incorrect - McQueen was sponsored by Rusteeze from the very beginning, but at the end got a deal from Dinoco (which he turned down which makes the puzzle a little bit incorrect, since he was offered the sponsorship but did not get it). – Maurycy Jun 05 '18 at 11:54

Everybody slept for most of the movie.
Passenger 4998 colonists and 258 crew members were kept 'asleep' (hibernation) the entire movie until they almost reach there destination.
It's open for discussion whether hibernation is a form of sleep though
