Quiz Description

Before the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was a book, TV show, video game or (shudder) feature film, it was a radio series. The original run consisted of 12 episodes, or "fits". 12 Fits, 12 questions. Perfect. I was tempted to make the base score 42, but that might unbalance things. I think this is probably a really hard quiz for anyone who is not me.
