If you like word-games...

It took me most of the day, on and off. Some were very irritating. My love and obsession for word-games like these carried me through...

That quiz is a stickler for exact spelling...

yay! got it! Now if I can just figure out "15 M on a D M C" I'm stuck thinking its "15 months on a day month calendar" and I can't move past that. :P

koinegeek January 20 2006, 13:29:31 UTC

Yay!. I was thinking calendar for the longest time for the last one too :)

21 so far in one sitting . . . some of those suprised me that I actually got them. Not going to give up yet though!

Yay! Most are fairly easy for we Americans. A couple or so are Brit-biased...

I'm so glad you shared that. Made for a very entertaining morning. My final count was 28 and then Julie and I swapped the ones we were missing because they were really driving us crazy.

I think they could have been more careful about not posting such culturally/socially biased questions though.

BTW, thanks for letting me add you. I love the background and icons you're using.

Hi and welcome Kathy! :)

28 is awesome! I agree about the bias, especially the 6 B to an O. I had to do a little research on that one...

I love the background and icons you're using.

Thanks! The background is my favorite Narnia-related one.

Fun stuff! Thanks! akelavincent January 20 2006, 19:24:01 UTC

26 so far and cogitating, but I fear I've stalled. Though I know I'll be walking around tomorrow or next week and suddenly exclaim, "Oh! 15 P____ in a R____ T_____!! Of course!!" :P

Re: Fun stuff! Thanks! koinegeek January 23 2006, 11:12:38 UTC

Did you get them? :)

Re: Fun stuff! Thanks! akelavincent January 23 2006, 11:20:13 UTC

I made it to 28 before deciding sleep was more appealing. ;)

Re: Fun stuff! Thanks! koinegeek January 23 2006, 11:25:37 UTC

Aye, sleep is often much more appealing :D

Finally getting around to this. I've got 29, but I'm spinning my wheels on the last 4. Argh!

koinegeek January 23 2006, 11:13:30 UTC

Did ya get them? :)

Oops, yes, sorry I did Google them. I kicked myself for not getting the chromosome one--but I guess High School Biology was too many moons ago. The cricket one? Eh, who plays cricket? ;)
