1. You find a garden gnome with an Olympics t-shirt on in the work refrigerator, and...
you nuke it on high for 2 minutes and eat it for lunch.

4. Hah. Shows what you know.
Gnomes have to be nuked for 3 minutes to be anything close to edible.

5. How many pins have you collected?
If the number is greater than Zero, you've caught it.
