researcher Participant Registered: Sat Dec 25 2004 Posts: 26	Hi, I have a trivia question for you ===> "In a standard game of shogi, the number of first moves that a player can choose from." I have never played the game & have a guess after reading about it... But I would like to know the answer from someone who knows.... Anybody out there play it & know the answer?.... Thank you in advance... Researcher

Twenty-six posts since 2004 isn't exactly regular. Our members are obliging but it does seem that you are a taker and not a sharer which hardly seems fair. _________________________ Many a child has been spoiled because you can't spank a Grandma!

It seems to me to be a simple matter of addition to come up with the answer of the number of possible openers. As to whether all these are good openers is another matter. _________________________ A smile is a curved line that sets things straight. ~ Anon.

If he is researching answers for prize quizzes then AFT probably isn't the place to ask. _________________________ Many a child has been spoiled because you can't spank a Grandma!

Twenty-six posts since 2004 isn't exactly regular. If my math is correct, that is about five posts per year, or once every ten weeks. Besides, I've never even heard of the game.

Except it isn't once every ten weeks, certainly a couple of flurries would hint at a Christmas quiz. 30 Dec 2004 31 Dec 2004 2 Jan 2005 7 Jan 2005 3 Mar 2005 3 Mar 2005 19 Apr 2005 1 Nov 2005 3 Nov 2005 6 Nov 2005 7 Nov 2005 9 Jan 2006 9 Jan 2006 25 May 2006 15 Jul 2006 10 Aug 2006 11 Aug 2006 8 Nov 2006 8 Aug 2006 12 Nov 2006 16 Nov 2006 19 May 2009 - Deleted by member after it had a reply which is something we ask people not to do. 20 May 2009 - Given special permission to place a photo not taken by him in the Photography forum 20 May 2009 26 May 2009 8 June 2009 I think it is fair to say that he is not a regular contributor. _________________________ Many a child has been spoiled because you can't spank a Grandma!

That's just over 2 1/2 years! _________________________ The way to get things done is NOT to mind who gets the credit for doing them. --Benjamin Jowett No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. --Eleanor Roosevelt The day we lose our will to fight is the day we lose our freedom.

sue943 Administrator Registered: Sun Dec 19 1999 Posts: 38004 Loc: Jersey Channel Islands	It also looks as if they are for a competitive and possibly prize quiz, those we don't normally permit. I just think people ought to participate generally, not just hit us when they are stumped then to ignore us again. _________________________ Many a child has been spoiled because you can't spank a Grandma!

I agree. I've only about 6,000 posts, but been in the forums about 5 1/2 years. Although, I do run three tipping comps and participate in plenty others. _________________________ The way to get things done is NOT to mind who gets the credit for doing them. --Benjamin Jowett No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. --Eleanor Roosevelt The day we lose our will to fight is the day we lose our freedom.
