Subject: RE: BS: Quiz; again?! From: The Walrus Date: 20 Apr 02 - 06:50 AM I got stuck on No.13, I couldn't think of it so I started searching web site on "Hueys", trying to find a nickname for them and couldn't, gave up, came back to the quiz to submit my answers and suddenly realized I'd misread the question D'oh! (moral:- If all else fails -Read the question twice) Regards Walrus |

1, On which ship did the Pilgrim Fathers sail to America ? |
Subject: RE: BS: Quiz; again?! From: Nigel Parsons Date: 20 Apr 02 - 08:14 AM For Guest: yes the first quiz was lacking in any music connotation, but the thread title was preceded by "BS", a sure sign that something may run 'Off-topic' However, apart from some of the following questions mentioning music, there are some musical connections in the answers! In an attempt to get more people scoring 20, this quiz has 24 questions (Generous, aint I) The answers, once found, form 8 sets of 3, but not necessarily together. For the benefit of those to the West of the Atlantic, it may help to start with 22,23,24 which are one set! The liberties taken with spelling and/or pronunciation may be greater than usual. You have been warned. Comments welcome here. but please keep answers for PMs.

Subject: RE: BS: Quiz; again?! From: Nigel Parsons Date: 25 Apr 02 - 04:50 AM Guest: Common thread, not in the 24 question one, but that contains 8 threads of 3 answers, and, as a *Big Hint*. The whole thing "in its totality" does not refer to Christopher Columbus being a Musical Producer of a Clint Eastwood Film. He was merely a Stooge who had the good Grace to be Leaving On A Jet Plane for the Marrakesh Express |
