2018 Year-End NC Rando Trivia

Posting here (in addition to the NC-rando-list-serve and the NC Rando Facbook group, so that I can easily find the questions when I might want to.

In the absence of an organized year-end party / gathering -- I'm not counting the WNC Winter Solstice brevet/perm/whichever, 'cuz certainly none of the Asheville crew would claim that ride is an organized party, would they -- some NC trivia nuggets from 2018 (or prior). "No fair" answering the question if your name is the answer. 

 1.  What NC RUSA member attained RUSA "Mondial" status in 2018? 

 2.  "Everyone" knows that Dean got the equivalent of at least one K-Hound on his "Get 'er Dunn" populaire ( https://ncrandonneur.blogspot.com/…/get-er-dunn-and-done-an… ), but what other Perm route(s) did Dean get the equivalent of at least one K-Hound? 

 3.  What other NC RUSA member(s), active or retired, also got the equivalent of at least one K-Hound on one of Dean's routes. (There are two answers to this one.) 

 4.  What two NC RUSA members are on track to K-Hound this year? And how many times will they have attained K-Hound? 

 5.  Who was the first NC RUSA member to K-Hound? 

 6.  Which NC RUSA member has attained K-Hound the most times? 

 7.  In addition to Dean and the answer to one of the above questions, who else among NC RUSA members, has ridden a particular perm-pop at least 100 times? Give the route and the person's name. 

 8.  No NC RUSA member has ridden any 200+ km Perm route at least 100 times. But who has ridden a particular NC Perm the most time? Name the person and the route. 

 9.  Although we miscounted on Dean's 100th "Get 'er Dunn," he did get WAY more than 100 rides in on his favorite perm-pop. Which of the following is closest to the number of times that Dean did ride "Get 'er Dunn" -- (a) 150 times, (b) 250 times, (c) 350 times? 

Btw, no matter how many times Dean had ridden G'eD, no matter how many times I had ridden that route, Dean always had new things to point out. That always improved the experience. 

10.  Oh, one more thing: how many really bad puns did Dean average per "Get 'er Dunn" ride?
