Subject: Questions from GOW's Blog
Date: Dec 03 08

I have been consistently posting riddles and questions on my blog, but in order to expand the challenge for more people, I will post the questions here.

Keep an eye out for new questions on this post.



Please feel free to leave feedback for the site administrators. We will take all feedback into account as we tweak and add new features.
The old reply to thread function was removed because it got to the point where people weren't even reading the announcements and assuming, by default, that they were somehow being wronged or forgotten or insulted or abused or cheated out of something in some manner.

houston1127 28. GOW, would you mind throwing out a clue for number 28, please. The best I could come up with is an anagram that involves Verizon and Sprint and Cell Phone and two The's. Please have mercy and help!

96 is right.

For 18, the three letters are in consecutive order. My friend Alexa came up with this problem, and I would like to thank her for this puzzle.

28. But do you recalllll.....

Some new wares and now making a landmark...

98. Take two words you might see in a piece of sheet music that would mean a direction to follow. Change the first letter, drop the last letter, and change the sixth letter to an ‘A’. You now get one of the most celebrated names in music history. What are they?

99. Under what circumstances does the ‘Even Build Rule’ apply?

100. What do these universities have in common? Harvard, Cornell, Dartmouth, Syracuse, and Stanford

101. What do these cities that are in the list of the US’s 100 most populated cities have in common? Phoenix, AZ, Mesa, AZ, Aurora, CO, Anchorage, AK, Buffalo, NY, and Garland, TX.

102. According to a list compiled by Forbes in 2008 of 100 Most Powerful Celebrities, who are the only two people who have only one vowel in their name, meaning Alan Alda, if he was on this list, would qualify because he has just ‘A’s in his name. Names must be name most commonly used for that person, and ‘Y’ is a vowel if not at the beginning of the word. For a hint: One is in acting, and one is a TV personality.

101. All boring cities. Especially Mesa.

102. Will Smith and Ellen Degeneres.

99. Under what circumstances does the ‘Even Build Rule’ apply?

In Monopoly. You must build evenly on each property of the same color (you can't put 3 houses on one until the other properties of the same color each have two houses, for example)

I'll also add that for #100, none of the teams end in s.

99, 100, and 102 are all correct.

For the universities question, the best answer is 'schools whose mascot is just a color'. That way the Duke Blue Devils and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are left out, leaving only these 5 schools.

crazycube 101 - That they are in the list of the US’s 100 most populated cities?!

For 101, are those the only cities on the list of 100 that have this specific common bond?

Reply #258. Mar 14 10, 4:46 PM

daBomb619

97. A: Erbium (terbium) and yttrium (ytterbium); B: Cerium (cesium) and hafnium (hahnium)

For 101, is the common bond wordplay-related, or is it something to do with the cities themselves?
