Colin, when do you want our wagers in by?

[Colin]

Just so you all know. Round 6 will begin on Saturday... the main reason... I'm going away Wednesday - Friday. So, you guys have until Friday to get your wagers in... so that's plenty of time to think and debate on what your wagers should be :evil:

[Colin]

Well guys... I'm returning later than I expected...

So, here's the deal... I know many of you have obligations to handle on Sunday that keep you away for most of the day. With that being said, would you rather I wait until Monday to start the next challenge, or just go forward with it? Speak now!

Speaking for nobody but myself, I am sick as a blasted dog. As there's NO way I'll be going to Church tomorrow, I'd appreciate having a challenge to keep my mind occupied.

Alrighty folks, the answers are all in, and checked over... and now it's time for the results!

Bob correctly answered 183 questions, winning them $9150. However, Bob incorrectly answered 21 questions, LOSING them $2100, bringing their final winnings for this round to: $7050

GLM correctly answered 192 questions, winning them $19200. However, GLM answered 12 questions incorrectly, LOSING themselve $2400, bringing their final winnings for this round to $16800!

Bob... we have yet another date at the Firing Squad, where two players will exit the game. Firing Squad will begin tomorrow evening/night/maybe Tuesday.

The answers will follow in a few minutes.

And thus the GLM takes total control of the game.

Bob's not doing so well. They needa charge up somehow! They needa drink an energy drink! Then they will power up and battle against the GLM, who will also drink an energy drink! The battle between these two foes will be more ferocious than ever!

BOB VS. GLM: The Battle of DEATH!!

THE TRUE BATTLE BEGINS.....NOW!

[Kury Wagner]

Dammit, and I thought we did pretty good. Grr... if you guys in GLM didn't have Gwen, I'd do something. What is this something, you ask? It's a secret...


138. nineteen bonesWhaaat? Bah. I thought there are 20 muscles to make a foot move, but 26 bones in it.

[Metroid_spy]

We're going to the Firing Squad... again. :( So after this we would have 3 players on this team. So what happens if everyone gets sent to be executed would that mean GLM would win the whole game?

[guinaevere]

Grr... if you guys in GLM didn't have Gwen, I'd do something. Are you kidding me? If they didn't have Gwen, I'd do something too. (not sure what that means, but I'm sick, tired, medicated, and afraid to go to sleep after last night... :sad: )

Shadow Team, once again, EXCELENT JOB Am I the only one who wonders how it is that Bob hasn't created their own Firing Squad to rid them of Gigan?


Lemming and Gerbil, Guinea Pig said that a sacrifice may be needed in order to be more efficantUnfortunately, Lemming went off to Mexico for a week to meet with Horned Owl. You'll have to make do without Prairie Dog in the meantime.

Yes I summoned the Souls of The Banned to assist me in my bidding! Ofcourse this is all within legal rules of the board, so it's baisicly thru IM...and a few members of GLM(who are to remain silent or be confusing or denying)

Wrenchen and Waggytoon are there too....and the sole purose of this think tank is to make sure that the game will have no true clear winner....and it will be debated throughout the ages

178. Speed of a Rhino - Where did you get your up to 30?


Big rhinos may reach speeds of 35 miles per hour—as fast as most horses can run, although a horse can keep running at this speed much longer than a rhino can. Zoobooks are pretty venerable.

http://www.zoobooks.com/newFrontPage/animals/animalFacts/sniglet_r.html

Also

155. Reptile Households - According to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association survey for 1999-2000, its 3.9 million, not 4. Was this wrong? or did you count it as close enough?

153. New Jersey is the correct answer.
framers of New Jersey's first constitution in 1776 gave the vote to "all inhabitants of this colony, of full age, who are worth fifty pounds ... and have resided within the county ... for twelve months." The other twelve new states restricted voting to men. Although some have argued that this gender-neutral language was a mistake, most historians agree that the clear intention was to allow some women to vote.http://www.nps.gov/revwar/about_the_revolution/voting_rights.html

138. Bones in the Human Foot
" A normal human foot is composed of 28 bones including the two sesamoid bones"

So maybe we're both wrong?
http://www.nefca.ca/find-ft-nurse/ft-anatomy.html (http://www.nefca.ca/find-ft-nurse/ft-anatomy.html)

132. 1896 is when the Yukon gold rush began but you said YUKON and not KLONDIKE. Thus my 1881 has some basis as gold in the whole province.

http://www.explorenorth.com/library/yafeatures/bl-stampedes.htm

Also references are listed at the bottom of the page.

Also according to the Yukon government page:
"after the first reported discovery at Fortymile in 1850."

http://www.emr.gov.yk.ca/mining/info/mining_history.html

92. While I noted that it was invented in the 30s, the name "Scrabble" wasn't coined until 1941. Before that it was "Lexiko." So is it Scrabble until it's called "Scrabble?"

http://www.scrabble-assoc.com/info/history.html

83. Tallest structure. I said the KVLY-TV (the NBC affiliate in my area actually) is 628.8m (2,063ft) tall. The CN tower is 553m (1815ft) tall.

http://www.casperstartribune.net/articles/2005/03/12/news/wyoming/eff43d9ec654f64887256fbf006ce6fc.txt

82. Taipei 101 is the world's tallest building at 1671 ft.
Petronas tower 1 is 1483ft.
Petronas tower 2 is 1483ft.
The switch was made in late 2003 if I understand correctly. Technically the spires of the Sears tower are higher but spires aren't counted.

72. Donald and Scrooge

The picture I linked to appeared in Walt Disney's Comics (and Stories) #600.
http://duckman.pettho.com/tree/v_american.html
http://ksacomics.com/wdd/600.htm

And thus NAMED the relatives. There you have it.

69. Marco Polo and China.

Marco Polo was born in 1254. He did not go to china until he was 17. His father and Uncle went in 1260, but they did not take the 6-year old with them. They returned after a few years and then took him.

http://www.bookrags.com/biography/marco-polo/

59. In what country is Esperanto Spoken?

While it is a made up langauge and is actually not NATIVE to any country. It is SPOKEN in lots of countries around the world.

http://www.esperanto.net/veb/faq-5.html

54. Metric inventors

I actually listed the people on the committee who developed the metric system. This is actually a more accurate description than just the French Academy of Sciences as not every person there worked on it.

45. Real-life inspiration for Sherlock Holmes

I answered no, but explained that the man it was based on, Joeseph Bell himself denied that it was based on him and the consensus is that the only similarity between Bell and Holmes is that they both reason logically. I suppose this could go either way but I want to make the point here.

42. Are Monumental Studios and Monumental Pictures that different?

41. Where did the Honeymooner's live - I gave the borough and you didn't ask for the address. When you asked "Where do you live" do you say your address or your hometown?

37. Gallons in an oil barrel.
http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/dictB.html


barrel (bbl or brl or bl) [1] a commercial unit of volume used to measure liquids such as beer and wine. The official U. S. definition of the barrel is 31.5 gallons (http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/dictG.html#gallon), which is about 4.211 cubic feet or 119.24 liters. I guess we're both wrong as this is the official measure.

15. The Who before they were The Who
http://www.thewho.net/index.php?modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=4&page=1


The Who began as The Detours, a band started by guitarist Roger Daltrey (http://www.thewho.net/roger/) (born March 1st, 1944) in London in the summer of 1961.
