1407

37

I understood there would be no math on this test.



B - 1400

C - 100

(Crossing fingers and hoping!)

1200

16

I love answers like T-Bone's. When you give (non-rounded) real numbers it at least LOOKS like they should be right!

This is weird now as my window just shut down for no reason. Sheesh!


Titanic Maybe 1500


Russians.....wag big time with 12

well Titanic appears because I just read another book on it.

It explains why the death count varies from one source to another, and gives the total as 1502.

By my count from the Wimbledon site, 29 of 132 are listed as from parts of the USSR. Mostly Russia, then UKR,BEL, EST a few, and IIRC one KAZ.

On the combination of the 2 answers, T-bone is best.

On all 5 questions.we still get the G (first) team aead by afew pointsl.

THANK YOU!

and as we all know IIRC a syndi toptier question, the quote from Kipling appears at the Wimbledon tennis stadium. IIRC.

Hurray for the Gs! For that matter, hurray for the other team, too. We all were brilliant, except when we were not.

Thank you very much, Etaoin! Great questions, great fun!

I don't even know if I was a B or a G. It was fun anyway!

Thanks as usual, Meister!

What the heck. If I'm gonna guess, I might as well go for it! Although I admit that for some reason the number 1407 came to my mind immediately. Was that the number of the hotel room in that scary movie of the same name that came out a short time ago, by any chance?

Thank you, oh magnificent meister for another night of...well..magnificent meistering!

And thank you friends for letting me hang out with ya and get a bit of normalcy back.

Well, in our group's case, "normalcy" is maybe not the exact term to describe it.

Thanks for the fun and games, and the fun game!

I got to boost my post count, learn some stuff, and . . . it was such fun to have Mr. Serling join us tonight.

Thanks for the game and I'm not sure if I was a G or B either but it was fun and that's what we're here for.

You forgot to count Rose Dawson......the movie was 1408 with John Cusack.
