Answers to ABDC Trivia Contest Week 4: Saltare OR Legendary 7

It's not easy putting together an ABDC trivia contest. I thought that we had a simple to understand (but difficult to solve) question for Week 4:"What is the only crew in America's Best Dance Crew history to replace more than half its members from the original audition?" 
It turns out there were two equally correct ways to understand the question:
  • If you consider only one season, Saltare was the only crew to replace more than half its members. Due to personal conflicts and issues with school, only two of the original six crew members who auditioned in Season 5 actually participated that season.
  • If you focused on the word 'original' in the question, then you could think of the question as covering multiple auditions and seasons. Legendary 7 participated in Season 5, but a few of the members tried out on Season 1 and performed on the show as Status Quo. This was NOT the intended answer, but is a legitimate reading of the question.
Even with multiple acceptable answers, there were only 10 correct responses this week. That means that anyone can still win if they do well in the next rounds of this contest. So, come back tomorrow for more!
