Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly The 3 for 1 general quiz

Is #1 Nuuk?

No wait, I just got it. #1 is Torshavn! I suspected this, but I didn't actually know the name of the city. When I tried to look it up, I misspelt Faroe Islands as Ferro Islands, and got completely the wrong information (as there is a Ferro Island near Europe, but it doesn't appear to have a captial city). Anyway, I'm fairly certain about that one.

Still no real idea about the others, but in case EDE is correct, I'll say

2. Covered Bob Marley Songs
3. Yangon

1. Torshavn is it! Literally, "Thor's haven," or "Thor's port."

2. Not Marley... wrong genre. I will also point out at this point it isn't just a single artist, but also the same song. Genre-wise, Youngbloods was the guess closest to the era and genre of the original version, although the most famous version of the song was closer to Aerosmith (of the guesses so far).

3. Not Yangoon. Bangkok remains the geograpghically closest guess.

Incidentally, I think a case can be made for Tirana as well. According to at least one account, it's derived from "Tiras" or "Thiras", legendary founder of the Thracians, who was sometimes identified with Thor. Thorshavn is a much better answer, though.

1. Thorshavn
2. How about covering Dylan's "Knocking on Heaven's Door"?
3. We've pretty much at the limits of my knowledge of Southeast Asian cities, here. I'll say... Saigon.

1. yes!
2. right artist, wrong song!
3. Saigon it is! John O'Groats to Inverness, to London, to Paris, to Moscow, to Beijing, to Saigon!

almost there, folks!

1. Thorshavn
2. All covered "Blowin' in the Wind"????
3. Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City)

1. actually, both you and EDE had an extra H... Torshaven, not Thorshavn
2. nope. HINT: the list of people who have covered this song is a lot more extensive than the four I listed.
3 yep.

One final hint:

The somg inquestion was actually covered by at least three dozen artists, and one of the first of those covers (probably THE first), not Dylan's, remains the best-known.

Well, some internet research has yielded the answer for me. Should I just post it, or should we give it to EDE? He got both Saigon and Dylan in general...

If that's what you believe, why don't you PM EDE, and offer it to him? the rules are pretty clear on the first to post all three correctly gets it.

That just feels too complicated

1. Torshaven
2. They all covered "All Along the Watchtower"
3. Saigon

Assuming I'm right (as I'm pretty sure I am), I'm happy to give it to EDE if he wants it. However, to keep things going, if he doesn't post some questions in 24 hours, I'll go ahead and post something.

you are correct, of course.

OK, here are some questions...

1. What does the latest (in terms of internal continuity) leader of the Adventures-era LSH have in common with the champion of Borkia?

2. Put these countries in chronological order that they granted women the right to vote:
Canada, Myanmar, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, USA

3.What do Stuart Sutcliffe, Philip Wilcher, and Milton Marx have in common?

1. They were both named "Cosmic Man".

2. A Complete guess: New Zealand, Norway, Canada, USA, Switzerland, Myanamr

3. They were all the "fifth members" of a famous quartet? Stuart Sutcliffe was "the fifth Beatle" and Milton Marx was "Gummo", but I have no idea who Philip Wilcher was.

1. Yes

2. No--but close. You just need to reverse the positions of two countries

3. Yes! Bonus trivia points if anyone can tell me who Philip Wilcher is

OK, I'm going to give this to Eryk, as no one else has made any guesses and he's gotten so close with his answer.

The correct answer for #2 is New Zealand, Norway, Canada, USA, Myanmar, Switzerland.

And Philip Wilcher was, apparently, at one point, the "fifth Wiggle".

Crap. I still need to come up with questions for this.

Well, what are you waiting for?
