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

quislet can have it

the correct answers are oliver and company
Butters and Pip
Nightcrawler

oh and technically terrance and Phillip could have been an answer for number two as well

OK three general knowledge questions...

1) When was the area now known as the United States of America first settled?

2) Susan B Anthony once got arrested for doing what?

3) Why were British sailors called Limeys?

1. 1620
2. trying to vote
3. Because they were always eating limes in order to avoid scurvy

Guesses all, educated and otherwise

2 & 3 is correct.

1 is a bit of a trick question.

1. Assuming that your use of the word "settled" implies being settled by non-native peoples, then the area now known as the USA was first settled by in 1565 by Spain in St. Augustine (Florida). If you meant by those considered natives, then I would say about 10,000 years ago.

2. Attempting to vote in an election

3. Because they believed limes prevented scurvy

Vee, it was your second answer to question 1 that is correct.

And as you got the other two also correct, you are up.

1. What action by King John of England brought about the First Barons' War?

2. When will the next millenium begin?

3. How many Federalists have been elected President & who were they?

1. Refusing to sign the Magna Carta.

2. By the common calendar, 12:00 a.m. on January 1, 3001. Although by the Coptic calendar, the new millenium begins either Saturday or a year from Saturday, if memory serves.

3. two - George Washington (2nd term; 1st time he had no affiliation) and John Adams.

Good job Kent! Just a minor correction on #1. He actually igned it then abrogated it as soon as the Barons had left town, claiming it was signed under duress and not valid.

You are up Mr. Shakespeare

1. What are the next three numbers in this sequence: 1,2,3,4,5,8,10,12,15,16,17,19...

2. What filmmaker's wife divorced him after she joined the Nazi Party?

3. In what US war (or rather "war") was a foreign-owned animal the only casualty?

1) no clue

2) Otto Preminger?

3) Grenada?

1. I'll wait for at least one guess before I give aclue.

2. no, but you're in the right ballpark.

3. nope, but right hemisphere.

1. 22?

2. Cecil B. de Mille?

3. Panama?

1. That is not one of the three. First hint: This is a very US-centric question.

2. nope.

3. no, but you're on a mainland nation, so that is a step in the right direction.

1. 21, 23, 25

2. Frank Capra

3. The Pig War of 1859 (aka The Northwestern Boundary Dispute)

1. 20, 21, 23 (this is a complete guess)
2. Fritz Lang (so is this)
3. The Pig War of 1859 aka The Northwestern Boundary Dispute (ripped off of Vee)

1. Both Vee and Xben have one correct guess each.

Hint: In the case of the subject at hand, the lowest of the three numbers I'm looking for in a way exceeds the other two combined.

2. Fritz Lang is correct, Xben!

3. Pig War it is. Good work, Vee! (The 'war' actually lasted about a dozen years)

Intriging clue on #1, Kent. Are the numbers denominators for something? Can't think of what it could refer to.

New guess
1. 23, 47, 100
2. Fritz Lang
3. Pig War!

1. 23, 27, 29 (another wild guess)
2. Fritz Lang (stolen from Xben )
3. Pig War

1. Xben guessed three numbers that do not fall anywhere in the sequence, while Vee has chosen three incorrect numbers, two of which are too high for the answers I am looking for, but do fit in the sequence beyond the 3 I am looking for.

Yet another hint: the first three numbers I originally listed are generally preceded by a single-letter prefix (the same letter for all three).

2. both still
3. correct

1. 21, 24, 26
2. Fritz Lang
3. Pig War

I still have no idea about the number sequence, but the hints you've given limit it down to only a few remaining combinations

1. 21, 22, 24
2. Fritz Lang
3. Pig War

1. 21,24,26
2. Fritz Lang
3. Pig War

all three of you have in common one wrong and one right. Xben and KK have a number that would have been correct if I asked for the next four, not the next 3. I've recently learned that one of Vee's will eventually be part of the sequence, but its not currently.

One last hint (since it's more about guessing numbers at this point than knowing the source), the previously mentioned letter is "H."
