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

Hints for 1 and 3:

1. The novel takes place in the hills, but its title suggests the bottom of the sea.

2. Xben had two out of three. The one he was missing is an American League team.

Is the other baseball team the Cleveland Indians? Replacing the Padres?

Yes.

1) Watership Down?
2) Cliff Richards
3) Cleveland Indians, Cubs and Giants

Yes and yes and yes. Go ahead.

Yay me!

Okily dokily...

1) Which is the only film in Oscar history to have been nominated in every category that it was eligible for?

2) Which soap had a short lived spin off that featured Mel Gibson amongst the cast?

3) Who was the first Head of State to send an e-mail?

1) Gone With the Wind?

2) East Enders?

3) John Major?

Nope to all three m'fraid.

1) Wings?
2)General Hospital?

3) Ronald Reagan?

Again nope to all three.

With regards to 1) I think the total nominations were thirteen. I'm not saying how many it won as yet though (although there is something fairly unique about a set of ones it won).

With 2 it's a soap that is no longer being made.

And with 3 the wording itself is a clue.

1) Titanic?
2) Dynasty?
3) Queen Elizabeth II?

Nope to the first two but yes to the last one. She was actually one of the first people ever to send an e-mail. It was one of the fifty facts they released about her during her jubilee year.

The answer to one is an earlier film than Titanic. It won both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress (but the winner of the Best Actress Oscar didn't actually collect it).

The soap in question isn't a US soap.

More clues time?

The film in question starred a famously married couple. It also wasn't the only Best Actress Oscar won by said actress.

The soap in question is an Australian one.

1) Cleopatra

2) Neighbors

3) Queen Elizabeth II (or as I like to call her "Betty")

Nope, nope, yes.

But I suspect the reason for you giving the answer for 1 is the correct answer to the clue. And Neighbours does have a large number of actors in it that also appeared in the soap in question before they got parts in Neighbours.

1. The English Patient
2. Number 96
3. Queen Elizabeth II

Nope (much earlier than that), nope (the one in question has a slightly different name in the Uk from in Australia), yep.

Is #1 All About Eve (which actually had 14 nominations)?

Nope, later than that. The thing that was unique with it wasn't the number of nominations (thirteen in total) or even the number of wins (five, I think) it was the fact that it received a nomination in every category that it could. Quis is the closest so far because I suspect he's thinking of the correct married couple but not the correct film. They play a married couple in the film as well.

1. Who's Afriad of Virginia Wolf
2. Prisoner
3. Queen Elizabeth II

I'm pretty sure I'm right...some cheating, some educated guesses, some borrowed from others...

The Prisoner counts as a soap?

Not 'The Prisoner', but 'Prisoner' AKA 'Prisoner: Cell Block H' does. Ever so very not the same programme.

And XBen is indeed right with all three. Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolfe I think is also the only film where every single actor with a credited part was nominated for an Oscar.

1. Aside from the resurrection of Jesus, which is the only miracle to be recorded in all four (canonical) gospel accounts of Jesus' ministry?

2. What literary character has been adapted onto screen more than any other?

3. A famous captain surnamed Munson died in a plane crash in 1979. What was his first name and in what context was he captain?

1. Resurrection of Lazarus?

2. Sherlock Holmes?

3. Thurman Munson, captain of the New York Yankees.

Correct on #'s 2 & 3, but #1 is wrong. In fact, the resurrection of Lazarus is only described once, in the book of John
