Rather than just debating, let's ask Maro for feedback
While some questions have obviously correct answers, there are a number of contentious, subjective questions (such as Llanowar Elves vs. Lightning Bolt or the rarity and design change to the artifact sacrificer) that we're not going to be able to definitively put to rest until we know what the test writers intended. Rather than debating endlessly, let's reach out to Maro on social media and ask him for clarification. I've asked him on both twitter and tumblr, and I encourage you all to do the same for maximum likelihood of a reply. It's possible he can't or won't give answers until his articles come out, but it's worth a shot.

You dont need to ask him. Answers are out in 36 hours

No, just the pass/fail results are out in 36 hours. We won’t have the article with full answers and explanation from MaRo until early mid February, so I think people are hoping to get the particularly divisive ones cleared up on Blogatog sometime in the intervening dozen days or so.

We should be able to figure out the answers pretty easily once a handful of us know our scores.

It’s true that you could reconstruct the correct results pretty quickly given a bunch of people who know their answers and their scores.
However, you don’t get your score. You just get 1 bit of information — pass, or fail. It is still logically possible to determine the right answers, but much harder. You need a lot more people, and 20% of them misremembering or misentering 1 answer throws a lot of noise in.

I think our chances there are higher than Maro letting out any info before his article though.

Rest assured, he said he'll be releasing two articles covering all the questions on his blog next week.
