Some unique passphrases that weren't so unique (I removed the duplicates from people who took the survey twice). You won't want to reuse your passphrase for next year's survey!

  • animatronic animorphs / animatronic tapeworm
  • Apple pie / Apple Sauce
  • bunny nani / Bunny Mathematics
  • Dog Puck / dog vacuum
  • duck soup / Duck pie
  • Falling Anecdote / falling waffles
  • flightless shadow / Flightless Hitchhiker
  • fraggle frelling / fraggle poyoyonrock Huh?
  • google calico / google translate
  • green a@a@a2A3 / green prevybozbycbex
  • hello hello / hello lamppost
  • hen hao / hen piaoliang There were a couple pinyin passphrases.
  • infinite jest / infinite cohomology
  • john lampkin / John Brown
  • less wrong / less right
  • Meine Güte / Meine Kindergeburtstagsfeier
  • misty may / misty moop
  • Modest Mouse / Modest Brand
  • not rhinocerous / not interested
  • point conception / Point Break
  • rose Hulman / Rose Lac
  • SQUEAMISH OSSIFRAGE / SQUEAMISH OSSIFRAGE This is the one passphrase that was exactly the same. You did a good job of being memorable but poor job of being random.
  • Swedish Spitfire / Swedish Berries
  • Toad Man / Toad Hall
  • TWO WORD / Two Word
  • Unicorn Flask / UNICORN STARTUP
  • wingardium leviathan / wingardium avocado
  • yellow jacket / Yellow dart

I guess this is not a problem though: when the first word is announced two people will reply, but only one of them has the right answer. So the prize still goes to the right person.
