Sweetcherrie Posted March 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 (edited) Sweetcherrie opened her mailbox, and found…nothing. It had been quiet for a couple of days, and she decided that it was time to post the answers. She picked up the pile of answer sheets, and made two separate scores lists, one for people who hadn’t done research, and one for people that had. Brains only: Deggy 5 Venefyxatu 4 Quincunx / Finnius 3 Appy / Kasmandre 2 Peredhill / Katzaniel 1 Gwaihir / Akallabeth / Black / Sweetcherrie 0 With help of our dear friend Google: Gyrfalcon 10 Lord Panther 9 Lady Celes Crusader 9 The correct answers as they were send to me: 1) How long did the "Hundred Years War" last? *116 years 2) Which country makes Panama hats? * Ecuador 3) From which animal do we get catgut? *Sheep and Horses (one of these answers was enough for a point) 4) In which month do Russians celebrate the October Revolution? *November 5) From what is a camel's hair brush made? *Squirrel fur 6) The Canary Islands in the Pacific are named after what animal? *Dogs 7) What was King George VI's first name? *Albert What color is a purple finch? *Crimson (brown, or reddish, or pinkish (depending on male or female) 9) From where do we get Chinese gooseberries? * New Zealand 10) What is the color of the black box in a commercial airplane? * Orange, of course. Sweetcherrie looked at all the answers sheets. It had certainly been fun, and she would soon have to do something like this again. She clicked on the 'Add reply' button… OOC: Thank you all for participating, this was so much fun Edited March 5, 2005 by Sweetcherrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akallabeth Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Purple Finch - a type of bird (don't really know much else about it ^^) Catgut- is, or at least was, used for stitching wounds or surgical cuts back together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrion Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 I was under the impression that the Hundred Years War had no definite length (or maybe we simply don't know how to define it for sure). Throughout my education I've been presented with 3 numbers... As far as I can remember... they were 107 years, 116 years (I didn't remember this one precisely, but now that I've seen it it certainly rings a bell) and 134 years. And I would have answered 134 years, so I only knew the last one. Interesting stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
