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.

The last six have been answered correctly, although some of the new guesses for old questions were all incorrect.

I *think* I posted hints on a cumulative list somewhere in the past.

But anyway, a six-pack of questions because I didn't want to write a case.

Note: Quarter of a thousand questions have been written now. I'll come up with something good for #300.

248. On the official New York City ballot for the general election for the gubernatorial race in New York, what was the only party listed that featured a number in its name?

249. Complete this triple analogy. Kwanzaa : 7 :: Christmas : ____ : Hanukkah : _____.

250. What comes in these varities? Green, yellow, red, white, black, black and white (2 different ways), blue and yellow, red and yellow.

251. According to legend, what company would have paid Joe DiMaggio $25,000 if he had made to one more game in his famed hitting streak?

252. What word meaning ‘to hold back’ is an anagram of itself?

253. Take the name of a famous work by a certain author. Remove the 3rd and 4th letter, and then add the letter ‘L’. If you rearrange, you now get the name of another famous work by the same author. What are the works?

251. Indeed, it is Heinz because Joe DiMaggio had a 56-hit streak, and if he had gotten one more, he would have had 57, which would have coincided nicely with Heinz's "57 flavors" campaign.

Shhh...did you hear it? Someone just answered #248.

The triple analogy is hard with 2 blanks. How about this? Christmas : 5.

250 is not correct, 251 is Heinz, 252 is 'stifle' because it is an anagram of 'itself', and 253 is two of the best by the "Great Bill".
