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

1. 20, 24, 25 (you've really got me stumped on this one! )

2. Fritz Lang

3. Pig War

Vee has it!

These were numbers of interstate highways.

I thought of that but wasn't sure since I'm more accustomed to seeing interstaes labeled "I-#"

Be back in a bit with the next question.

Okay here comes the next set of questions...put on your science fiction/fantasy literature caps!

1. Who is the author of "The Green Tower"?

2. Name the original Mentat of House Atreides?

3. Who is Prof Bernardo de la Paz?

Yes, but I deliberately left them off to be less obvious. Besides, on the signs themselves (and on most maps), you just see the numbers, no "I."

Hey, I actually know some of these...

Thufir Hawat was the Mentat, and the professor was one of the rebel leaders in Heinlein's "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress." I could no doubt google and find out the answer to the first part, but then I'd have to find some questions to ask.

Lance's realm is correct with both of his answers.

Here's a hint concerning Q1: The author has recently been signed to write a DCU series.

Would that be Richard Donner?

And Lance's realm's answers to questions 2 & 3

Nope, not Donner

1. Are you thinking of Tad Williams? If so, the title is 'To Green Angel Tower'
2. Thufir Hawat
3. Rebel leader from 'The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress'

Bump.

Vee does seem to be around. I'll email him with your answers Matthew.

Well, if Vee isn't going to confirm or deny, I'll just ask some:

1. What classic 20th-century novel opens with the sentence, "The primroses were over."?

2. What rock-and-roller has had #1 hits in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s?

3. What three major-league baseball teams have gone more than fifty years since the last time they won the World Series?

No idea about the first and last one but the second one is probably Cliff Richards (although I find it hard for me to think of him as a rock-and-roller even if that's how he started out).

Cliff Richard is correct.

I know one of the answers to number 3 is the Cubs. The Giants might be another...

reposting the questions:

1. The Great Gatsby
2. Cliff Richard
3. Cubs, Padres, Giants

1. No.
2. Yes.
3. No. I will note that there are many teams that, on the one hand, have never won the World Series, but on the other hand, haven't existed for fifty years in the first place. They don't count.

1. Gone with the wind?
2. Cliff Richard
3. Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox, & Dodgers?

1. No. Hint: novel takes place in England.
2. Yes.
3. No.

Matthew,

I just heard from Vee (his home computer is on the fritz) And you were correct in your answers.

Thanks.
