Ok, folks: You ready for the real answers?
"Nightmover" is, indeed, a book about Aldrich Ames
So far, the public is 1/1.
A "Black Box Warning" is, as the public voted, a stringent FDA warning.
Public score so far: 2/2
"Mr. Mosquito," however, is not an anti-malaria video. It's a video game.
Public score: 2/3
Believe it or not, "Abuse" is also a video game, not a report on @EricGreitens:
Public score: 2/4
And sorry, folks, "The last Resort"—despite its Al-Aulaqi-sounding overtones—is not an OLC opinion. It too is a video game.
Public score: 2/6

The public confidence that "ATM Machines" is a cybersecurity report is, well, misplaced. It's a porn video.
Public score: 2/7
The public was even more sure that "30 Days in the Hole" was a prison documentary.
Sorry, guys. Another porn vid.
Public score: 2/8
I was pretty confident I was going to fool ya'll on "The Assets." ASS-ets. Get it? But the public got this one. It's a series about Aldrich Ames.
Public score: 3/9
The public also seemed to know the video game "The Last of Us," currently available from @Walmart bundled with the Play Station 2 for only $2,000.

Public score: 4/10
I was impressed that the public saw through the many layers of double entendre in "The Spymistress" and recognized it as a book about a female spy.
Public score: 5/11
Score correction. I believe it should be 5/10 right now.
@scottjshapiro insisted that I include "Anal Chiropractor" and see if we could pass it off as a guide to coccyx injury. I am amazed that 44 percent of you feel for that. It's a porn video.
Public score: 6/11
The public recognized that for all its provocativeness, the title "Juicy Whip v. Orange Bang" is not a porn video but a patent dispute.
Public score: 7/12
And finally, the great @jshaub—in what is really the coup of the whole series—has managed to pass off the OLC opinion on DEA "Undercover Operations" as a porn video. You all should be ashamed of yourselves.
Final public score: 7/13
Note: the final two polls technically have not ended yet. I declare them over with the following numbers:
