Just wondering what's happened to Rounds 17 and 18?

I've been wondering the same thing. I have Round 19 ready to post for tomorrow, but I was kinda waiting...

Go for it cinnam0n!

Yeah, cinnamOn. The sequence is up and down these days so if you have a list ready I'd say post it! As for round 18 I have this hunch that I'm supposed to do it (even though I didn't think I was). It'll be up as soon as I come up with something.

Trivia Round 19

1. The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show was this past week. Name one of the 7 groups all entrants are divided into.

2. A flavor of Jello Brand gelatin dessert.

3. A book in C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia.

4. One of the Top 10 All-Time World-Wide box office movies.

5. A name reserved for an Atlantic hurricane in 2005.

Have fun!

Round 18

1. A type of reference book a teenager might use. (Don't get too specific...Funk & Wagnall's and Webster's will be considered the same thing)
2. One of the Survivors at play on Palau (Season 10 - newest US version)
3. Name a movie featuring both Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton
4. Name something that might realistically be made of pewter
5. Give a book title in Jean M. Auel's "Earth's Children" series

Have fun! See you in a couple of days.

ROUND 16 is closed. Answers and scores up within 2 hours.
