Rare Entries and a Note

Okay, okay.  I got a lot of complaints that questions two to seven
were dead easy, but the first one is just too obscure.  Yeah, you're
right.  I can't change the question at this point, but I've done the 
next best thing.  Go to http://www.panatropic.net/kmwilcox/who/
rare.html and find a list of the comic, novel, and audio companions.

The rules are fairly simple: I will post a set of seven categories,
and you must supply one answer that fits within each. The goal is to 
provide answers different from everyone else's. Your score on each of 
the seven will be the total number of people (including you) with
that answer. Incorrect answers will be given the highest score any 
correct answer gets (even if it's on a different question). Once the 
numbers are computed, your six lowest scores -- your highest score 
being tossed out -- will be multiplied to create your final result.  
Lowest score wins.  To take part, email me your answers to me at 
panatropic_at_... by Friday, June 7.

Here are the subjects for this game:

1. A "Doctor Who" companion created for the novels, audios or comics 
rather than for television.

2. A book by Lemony Snicket.

3. A pair of elements whose symbols are the same two letters reversed.

4. A Roman emperor before Commodus (the punk in "Gladiator").

5. One of Holst's "The Planets".

6. A theatrical release with Paul Giamatti in it.

7. A member of the Legion of Doom from "Challenge of the
Superfriends".
