I understood there would be no math on this test.
B - 1400
C - 100
(Crossing fingers and hoping!)

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

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!

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?hermillion wrote:I love answers like T-Bone's.

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.
