The Paleontology of Chris Wildrick Is Overrated, interactive performance, Museum of the Earth, 2008
Participants are asked to name as many dinosaur species as they can in one of three time categories: either 1 minute, 5 minutes, or 15 minutes. The contest is writte, so just writing the names alone takes a fair amount of time. Contestants can play as many times as they like.
Each contestant's name and total number of species is listed below.
| Name | Time Limit | Number of Species |
|---|---|---|
| Richard A. Kissel | 5 minutes* | 61 |
| Samantha Sands | 5 minutes* | 33 |
| Samantha Sands | 1 minute | 13 |
| Minseok (2nd try) | 1 minute | 9 |
| Kevin Wang | 1 minute | 8 |
| David Fleischman | 1 minute | 7 |
| Dan Lukas | 1 minute | 6 |
| Billy Kepner | 1 minute | 6 |
| Minseok (1st try) | 1 minute | 6 |
| Alexander Strauss | 1 minute | 4 |
| Tomer | 1 minute | 3 |
* These two contestants were playing in the 5-minute category, but due to a mistake on Chris' part, "time" was not called until after 6'22" had elapsed. Therefore their scores cannot be directly compared with other future 5-minute-category players, although they are a perfectly legitmate result otherwise.
