First, let me give mad props to kokiri for coming up with this awesome game and running the first one. In case you missed the first game, here's the scoop:
Peeshorama is a sheep variant where answers to the questions have a numerical value and the score is determined by:
Score = Value of answer/number of people answering it.
It's probably easier to give an example - if the category were 'country: number of states' then the USA would be worth 50. If 5 people answered the USA, then they would score 10 (50/5). So you are trying to guess unique answers like a peesh, except that some answers are worth more than others.
I will weight each question to ensure that each one contributes equally to the overall score - I'm intending to scale it so that the top answer for each category is worth 100 (before dividing by the number of answerers).
Top play, please PM your answers in an unnumbered list.
If you have any questions about what counts as answer or how things will be grouped, please PM me rather than posting in this thread. Please do not post anything in this thread which could hint at potential answers.

Your questions:
1. An automobile manufacturer. I'm looking for the name of a company, not a specific brand or model. Score=number of vehicles sold in 2010
2. A Texas Hold'em starting hand. Score=preflop equity versus JJ
3. A film director. Score=number of Oscar nominations for Best Director.
4. A country. Score=its Tom Ratio. The Tom Ratio of a country is the population of its largest city divided by the population of its second largest city. The country must have at least two cities or towns with population over 10,000 to qualify.
5. A letter of the alphabet. Score=its Scrabble tile value
6. A river at least partially in Europe. Score=its length
7. An organ of the human body. Score=its weight in the average adult male (or female for female specific organs)
8. A country. Score=Number of times it has or will have hosted one of the following events=Summer Olympics, Winter Olympics, FIFA World Cup (men). Announced future sites will count towards the score.
9. A novel by Charles Dickens. Score=Length of the title (including spaces and punctuation)
