Wipeout Round 1 Board 1 (Xalxe up)

[StrangerCoug]

*wakes up from nap*

ARGH,

why did that good dream have to end? Where am I, anyway?

...Youth Gone Wild? What youth got wild?

Oh, the song released January 24, 1989! That means I owe you... $250, right?


One more answer left! Do you want to take a stab at it or pass it?

[Drench]

No, Guppy can.

I insist.

[StrangerCoug]

Prof. Guppy, one of the remaining songs was released before my birth on December 26, 1989; the three others were after. Can you identify the one from before the date?

[Prof. Guppy]

No. But, I'll take a wild guess anyway.

Banned in the USA

[Prof. Guppy]

No, Guppy can.

I insist.

Thank you, Drench. This chair is quite comfy, but what's with all the wires coming out of it?

[StrangerCoug]

Wrong. April 20, 1990.

animorpherv1's turn to try.

[animorpherv1]

Pop Singer

?

[StrangerCoug]

YES!

You end Board 2 with $500!

Pop Singer was released on May 9, 1989; Couple Days Off was released in 1991; and Faith Alone was released on November 23, 1990.

Board 3 this weekend.

[animorpherv1]

Phew.

NOT LAST FOR NOW.

[StrangerCoug]

ROUND 1, BOARD 3

Perhaps the most famous intelligence agent in fiction is James Bond, created by Ian Fleming for his series of novels. Can you find 11

James Bond novels by Ian Fleming

below?

A bit of clarification before I let you loose: To count, it must be a full-length novel of his. If it is a short story, was written after his death, or exists only as a movie, it is a wipeout.


animorpherv1, you start the third board. Dollar values are doubled and I'm hiding an

eight-day tour of New England

worth $4,878 somewhere. That's your hot spot this round.

[animorpherv1]

You mean Prof. Guppy starts, right?

[StrangerCoug]

Yeah. That's what I meant.

[StrangerCoug]

I know the majority wanted money won to be kept after each board, but I'm not particularly keen about adding that anymore, so it's not going to happen. I have something else planned for the next match, though

[Prof. Guppy]

Okay, let's get a bunch of these answers off the board real fast.

Casino Royale, Dr. No, From Russia With Love, The Spy Who Loved Me

I'll pass after those. They all sound like Bond, but I'm not sure which are novels and which are not.

[StrangerCoug]

You have $500

animorpherv1, you're up.

[animorpherv1]

Diamonds are forever, You only live twice, pass

[StrangerCoug]

You're in the lead now


Drench, it's half and half. There are five right and five wrong answers left and you're in second place.

[StrangerCoug]

Hello?

[animorpherv1]

BZZZZZZZZZZT!

[Drench]

I SWEAR TO GOD I RESPONDED TO THIS WHAT THE FUCK

for the third time goldfinger

[StrangerCoug]

Acknowledged; will get it when I'm home.

[StrangerCoug]

So far, so good! Still no wipeouts picked!


It's still your turn. There are four right and five wrong answers left and the New England tour is still on the board. Do you want to try another answer or pass?

[Drench]

passpasspass

[StrangerCoug]

Prof. Guppy, over to you.

[Prof. Guppy]

Thanks again Drench. Maybe you should hang on to that avatar; it suits you.

Give me

Thunderball

. And give me

The World Is Not Enough

.

Then give me Ani wiping out, thank you very much.
