Goldenboko, as to the OD question, what source are you using? I just checked the Official Strategy Guide, and it says otherwise. The frontsite is not infallible, remember; it fails to mention Drain and Bio Fury, so it could easily be wrong about obtaining Spiral Cut. I'm not asking for the point back, since you're the quizmaster, just saying make sure you're dealing with accurate information.
