The Great Patriots Planet Challenge

How well do you know your fellow Planeteers? Well, kids, it's time to test your knowledge.

Here's how it works:

Below are 50 questions about your fellow members.
The first person to correctly answer each question will receive 1 point.
When all the questions have been answered, the one with the most points will be declared the winner.

Before you get started, here are a few ground rules:

Simply include the number and the answer in your reply.

"Member" can refer to a current or former member of Patriots Planet.

You do not get credit for answering a question about yourself.

Only the first person to answer correctly gets credit for that question.

If you want to change your answer, please edit your original post. In other words, if I see you posting multiple guesses at a particular question, you will not get credit for that question.

You may include answers to multiple questions within a single post. However, if you edit your post, the "last edited date/time" will be considered the official time for all answers included in that post.
Therefore, the better strategy may be to answer each question in an individual reply.

Keep checking back to this original post. I will edit it, and post the name of the winner for each answer. I'll try to keep checking back as often as possible.

Ready? Good Luck!!

#1 was the old guy in Mass.
#2 was Johnathan Rizzo, the kid who went to GW (ironically, I had just transferred to GW Law and the first day I got down there they were having the memorial service for him.)
#3 was Robert "Eli" Whitney, in a house my wife, my best friend, and I had vacated about 2 hours before his arrival, per police time reconstruction.

I don't know any of these, except the ones about Tex. I might be able to guess some monikers, but most of them are done already.

By the way, in regards to numbers 27 & 28, I remember reading an article a long time ago, possibly a column in Scientific American but I don't remember, about how the chance that two people in a group of 30 (a classroom typically) share the same birthday is really not unusual at all. I forget the explanation, if I ever understood it.

I remember this because when I was a freshman in college my best friend and I discovered, towards the end of the year, that we shared the same birthday (June 9th). We both thought the other was pulling a joke on the other when this came up in conversation, so we actually whipped out our draft cards simultaneously to verify our birthdays. Over the years our shared birthday has been a nice excuse to stay in touch.

Chances are there are more "matching birthdays" among planeteers than people realize.

The unusual thing about me, Edna, and Hawg is that we were born within 3 days of each other. Not only the same birthdays, but the same year.

I remember in my freshman Calculus class in college, the professor offered to bet a cup of coffee that at least 2 people in the class shared the same birthday. He then had people start saying their birthdays, and told us to raise a hand when someone else had your birthday. It only took a few tries before a hand went up.

He said he's been making that same bet for years in every class he teaches, and has never lost. He went on to explain why the odds made it such a safe bet. Like you, I forgot the explanation long ago. Hell, these days I'm lucky if I can remember where I left my car keys.

By the way, thomas, during the course of putting together the questions for this quiz, it suddenly dawned on me what "thomas144" stands for. Very clever, indeed.

It's a pretty safe bet that anyone with "144" in their email address has the same surname. My mother is judith144, for example. A lot of my cousins do too.

I was surprised no one got this one. If you do a search on Lofa, it will lead you to this thread. (http://www.patriotsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4388)


Since no one has come up with #26,
I may as well give that one away, too.

The correct answer is ItsGood_ItsGood .

Although his connection is a bit more obscure than Flagg's, a search on Bridgewater would have pointed you to this thread. (http://www.patriotsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4061)

ROFL


Actually, I did "search" for a couple of the answers... The Shield one and a few of the monikers.

Although, contrary to UT's comment, I don't have very good searching skills obviously, because the previously mentioned answers were the only two that I was able to find out of about the 7 or 8 that I tried searching for. :banghead:


I was really trying to get at least 25 right. Oh well....


:cute: I STILL WON!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cute:

[thomas144]

I was called into a meeting for an hour while I was researching answers. That probably cost me 12 points right there. I think that's why I didn't find the tutupu child question - I was interrupted by work.

I'm not sure there is anything that can be done about this, except possibly to require that all answers be made in order, so that you can't answer number 3 before number 2 has been answered correctly. A game like that could last several months, and would give everyone a chance to play.
