I'll start with

The dot-com bubble

, and see what happens.

What happens is that you get $900. Numerically, this happened on March 10.

Two and three. Do you want to pick another answer or pass?

Me and my $900 say mallow's got jack.

Prof. Guppy doesn't think you can pick the two right answers out of the five that remain, mallowgeno. Time to prove him wrong.

Timothy and Columbine

Timothy McVeigh wasn't executed until June 11 of 2001. Sorry.

Kcdaspot, it's half and half.

You're picking Air France Flight 4509, yes, Kcdaspot?

Prof. Guppy · Post Post #534 (ISO) » Mon Jul 18, 2011 1:33 pm

There's another plane crash on the board?

Really? What was the first?

The throwoff is that the answer wasn't bolded, by the way, so that was basically me asking, "Final answer?"

Anyway...

That was a trick answer. An Air France flight

DID

crash in Gonesse on July 25, 2000, but its flight number was 4590, not 4509.

Prof. Guppy, avoid the wipeout and you'll be fine.

Fox and Chernobyl

For the Win!

I've played Chrononauts enough times to know that Columbine occured April 20, 1999. Thank you Andrew Looney!

I had no way of knowing this BTW.

Yes! $3,000 total for you!

Round 3 in a bit.

Yeah. I may mess up like I did on one round, but I like putting trick answers on the board too.

Exactly how long is a bit, man? It's been five days.

StrangerCoug · Post Post #543 (ISO) » Mon Jul 25, 2011 10:00 am

When I have something that doesn't mean I do a geography board twice in a match.

Prof. Guppy · Post Post #544 (ISO) » Mon Jul 25, 2011 2:21 pm

Would you like me to give you some ideas? :evilgrin:

StrangerCoug · Post Post #545 (ISO) » Mon Jul 25, 2011 2:29 pm

How is that supposed to work out, by turning this into Win Ben Stein's Money? xD

"win mr. flay's money...."

hmmmmmmmmmmm

Prof. Guppy · Post Post #547 (ISO) » Mon Jul 25, 2011 11:29 pm

I'm just saying, I could throw out some ideas, and you could turn them into questions without telling me in advance what the questions are.

For example, guess which actors have been in a movie or tv show and which haven't.

Or names of world record holders. Or something.

StrangerCoug · Post Post #548 (ISO) » Tue Jul 26, 2011 11:59 am

Screw this, I'm putting what I have. I know it's two geography boards in a round.

ROUND 1 BOARD 3

Which of these countries is paired with the correct capital city?

Australia/Sydney
Oman/Muscat
Nepal/Kathmandu
Jamaica/Nassau
Uruguay/Montevideo
Japan/Tokyo
Spain/Madrid
United States/Washington
Cyprus/Nicosia
Cuba/Havana
Trinidad and Tobago/Port of Spain
India/Mumbai
England/London
Tuvalu/Funafuti
Morocco/Casablanca
Norway/Helsinki

As you know, the third board is worth double and the Hot Spot is hidden on here somewhere. This time around, the Hot Spot is an all-inclusive trip to Las Vegas, including a seven-night stay at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino, worth $5,209!

Kcdaspot's turn to start, if I'm not mistaken.

Kcdaspot · Post Post #549 (ISO) » Tue Jul 26, 2011 1:26 pm

that supposed to just say Washington?

Norway, England, Spain, Jamaica and sit on it
