Person or Thing of the Year
An eccentric billionaire, named Beatrice, has decided to give her entire fortune to the person, animal, or thing who/that had the biggest influence on the world in the year 2011. Her goal is to consider each event that happened (or did not happen or continued to happen) in the world in 2011 and decide who was most responsible for it. Then, she will tally up which person, animal, or thing was most responsible for the most events.

To help in this project, Beatrice constructed trillions of nanobots, which scoured the planet during the entire year and recorded everything that happened or was going on. However, artificial intelligence has not yet progressed to the point that the nanobots can decide for themselves who caused what.

You were hired by Beatrice to read the reports of the nanobots and decide for each report, who or what was most responsible. Read each report and decide who deserves credit for making the event happen.

There are several complications that may arise:

1) Sometimes stuff just happens, and nobody really made it happen. In that case, don't give credit to anyone (select “N/A”). Similarly, if the report describes an ongoing situation (“the cat was on the mat”), you do not know how the situation came to be and so do not know if it was caused and if so, by who. In this case, select “N/A”.

2) Sometimes more than one person or thing is equally responsible. In that case, give credit to all of them.

3) Sometimes someone is responsible but is not mentioned in the report. In that case, make a note that this case requires further investigation.

A final note: Beatrice is worried about your impartiality. Perhaps you would help your friends win. So Beatrice has  "anonymized" the reports you get from the nanobots. People's names have been changed randomly (so "Mary" in one report may not be the Mary in another), and many of the words for nouns and adjectives have been replaced with made-up words so that you won't have any clues as to who the report is about.

Summary:
1) Read the following reports from the nanobots.
2) Determine which people OR THING were most responsible for the event.
3) If more than one person OR THING is equally responsible, select both of them.
3) If nobody was responsible (or if the report fails to describe the relevant preceding event), select "N/A".
4) If someone was responsible but isn't mentioned in the report, select "someone else -- further investigation needed".
5) The names of characters have been changed, and names of objects and other words have been replaced with made-up words.
