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

1. Karl Marx (wild guess)
2. Maggie O'Connell (I think that was her name) from Northern Exposure
3. Can't imagine. Does it have to do with their parents?

1. nope.
2. yep.
3. sort of, but not directly.

time for hints:

1. nowadays he's more associated with the color green than with red.
2. solved... you don't need no steenkin hints!
3. any number of other celebrities (and millions of non-celebrities) could be used in place of any of these five... but each do fit exclusive slots. In other words, pro golfer Bill Britton could fill Joan Baez's slot, but not any of the others, while. Likewise, Jimmy Fallon is among the (probable) tens of millions who could fill in for Anne Hathaway.
These two of the five slots probably represent the smallest and largest pool of possible representatives, but this is based upon an educated guess on my part.

1. I still don't know
2. Maggie O'Connell
3. I did some research just now. Are they a set of people born in all five boroughs in New York City?

1. oh well.
2. still yes
3. Yes!

since (1) you got 2/3 of them, and (2) you're the only one guessing, I'll let you take it.

1. was James Connolly, by the way.

Go, Xben!

Okaaay, wasn't expecting to have to come up with questions, but here goes...

1. What nationality was P.L. Travers, the creator of Mary Poppins?

2. What links the following pieces of fiction a)Star Trek: The Next Generation b)Thriller c)The Goonies?

3. What city became known as the "City of Light" after astronaut John Glenn passed over it during his orbit in 1962?

1. Dutch?
2. the 1980s?
3. Perth, Australia?

1. No
2. Well, I suppose, but there is an even stronger link that may not be entirely exclusive to these three things, but is pretty close
3. Yes (also where I have lived for the last eleven years)

A little hint, which is that in Question #2, "Thriller" refers to the comic book by Robert Loren Fleming, not the Michael Jackson video or song. The link has to do with something about some of the characters.

1. Australian
2. each a character called Data?
3. Perth

Yes Yes and Yes, Kent. Very good.

1. What disaster was thought to have wiped out 75% of the human race?
2. What film saw the on-set demise of one of its main actors and two children?
3. What is Onhwentsakaionne better known as?

1. Flu epidemic
2. Twilight Zone, the Movie
3. the Great Salt Lake

1. not that I'm aware of. wrong type of disaster.
2. yep
3. nope. Geography is the right field, though.

1. The Biblical flood.
2. Twilight Zone, the Movie
3. The Mississippi River

1. Nope. Waaay before that, even.
2. yep.
3. Nope, but generally heading in the right geographical direction, but nowhere near far enough.

1. No idea what you could be thinking of. The ice age?
2. Twilight Zone, the Movie
3. Stonehenge

1. Nope, but the event in question happened relatively early in the most recent era of glaciation. But to the best of my knowledge the event in question is not related to glaciation at all (if anything, it would have served as a temporary counter-force).
2. still yes
3. In the right ballpark, but far too specific.

So I'm just curious, Kent, what the answer to these were, especially to #1.

Last stab at guessing:

1. The Clovis Comet
2. Twilight Zone, the Movie
3. Wales

Kent - any info on the answers to these questions? Was the Clovis Comet what you were looking at?

oops! missed the last guesses.


1. nope, even further in the past
2. still yes
3. oh so close but not quite

1. The Toba Supereruption
2. Twilight Zone, the Movie
3. Ireland

1. YES! at long last!
2. yep.
3. nope; in the wrong direction from He's guess. (that should be enough for you to finally wrap this up)

1. The Toba Supereruption
2. Twilight Zone, the Movie
3. Scotland?

I heartily admit that my Toba Supereruption answer comes after a fair amount of internet research, but after two years, I guess that's okay.
