9/24 - New Category

Alright, it has apparently been quite a while since I updated, and I completely missed the winning turn of the last round last week. Work has been busy and I haven't been able to listen as much as I have wanted, so if you don't see a post up regarding a question and answer, please leave a comment so we can all continue to work together to have someone win this thing.

Anyway, here's what I have for this round:

Question A: 9/18 - Missed

Question B: 9/21 - Line 2 for Douglas, $110. What was the first personal computer to feature a mouse and a graphical user interface?

Answer: Xerox Alto

Question C: 9/22 - Line 2 for Ben, $120. What city recently became the location of the largest seige in military history?

Answer: Serajavo (confirmed)

Question D: 9/22 - Lind 2 for Ben, $130. What cruise line used as its signature line, "Your World, Your Way"?

Answer: Oceania Cruises

Question E: 9/23 - Missed

Question F: 9/24 - Line 2 for Tim, $140. Who ran Center and Warbird beginning in 1971? (no idea if this was actually the question)

Good luck everyone

-Until next time...

    OK. I checked my recording so the final word on "the question" is:

    Who ran Secher and Warburg beginning in 1971?
    And the answer is in fact (unconfirmed) Tom Rosenthal


    Also, I have:
    "Who played Eurasian Soldier in Richard Burton's last movie?"

    Glad to hear they threw that question out. Mac was the first 'commercially successful' pc with a mouse and GUI but there were quite a few that came before it. I actually emailed them to point out they should at least reword the question.

    I think the accepted answer to the 10/13 question about the statues of Prospero and Ariel is going to be the *BBC* Broadcasting House. Just have a feeling he'll be specific about that.

    Thanks JT. Just to confirm, there were actually 4 correct questions. So he got all the way to 5 but Brian obviously knew it was an unasked question in the 5 spot.

    4 correct questions:

    Who ran Secher and Warburg beginning in 1971?
    - Tom Rosenthal(Confirmed)

    What city recently became the site of the longest siege in modern military history?
    - sarajevo(Confirmed)

    Who wrote The Iron Heel?
    - Jack London(Confirmed)

    What cruise line used as its signature line, "Your World, Your Way"?
    - Oceania Cruises (Confirmed)

    And the last one that he missed:

    What building is south of the school of Oriental and African studies and north of the British museum in the heart of Bloomsbury London?
    - I checked google maps and it looks like he's talking about 'Grange White Hall'. It is south of the SOAS and north of the Museum but I can't guarantee that's the landmark he's looking for so good luck.

    Another question was confirmed today (but I believe confirmed incorrectly): Who was the match-up between & winner of Super Bowl 18? Answer: OAKLAND Raiders over Washington Redskins 38-9. The correct answer should have been the LOS ANGELES Raiders. There was a new question posed involving the Philippine Mayor. Did anyone catch the entire question?

    I think that the date is actually January 21, 1950. Hiss was found guilty on January 21st and sentenced on January 25, 1950.

    Thanks, Andrea. The full question is: If War is Peace and Freedom is Slavery, what is Ignorance?

    Answer: Strength

    I can't believe you were able to get through. I have yet to get something other than a busy signal. Any suggestions?
