October's Common Answers results can be found below. The scoring method can be found here. For each of the winners, I have shown the position of their answer for each question. For example, a 2 indicates that for that question, the entrant answered with the second most popular answer. If someone answered all questions with the most popular answer, their score would be 100%, the % of max shows how close to the maximum score each person was.

There were 2,387 valid entries. The top answers to each question can be found below the winners' names.
