The answer to QUEST 234 is as follows: "The Shensi Province (China) earthquake in 1556 was the greatest natural disaster in human history. People throughout all of China felt it, and it is estimated that over 830,000 people died." If this meets your expectations, may I have another? ------------------

Hmmm...Guess it might help if I had read the question correctly - I don't guess 1556 qualifies for the twentieth century. Back to the drawing board...  ------------------

Could we be talking the great San Francisco earthquake of 1906 - 8.25 on the Richter scale - April 18 - 23? Approximately 3000 killed, many as they burned to death after having been trapped in the original quake. ------------------

QUEST 234 IS DONE!!!! On May 22, 1960, at 19:11:14, an earthquake measuring 8.3 on the Richter scale struck off the coast of Chile. Over 2000 were killed, 3000 injured and 2,000,000 left homeless in Chile, which suffered $550,000,000 in damage. The quake caused a tsunami which killed 61 and did $75,000,000 damage in Hawaii, and then went on to kill 138 in Japan and do $50,000,000 damage there. In the Phillipines, 32 were dead or missing, and $500,000 worth of damage was caused on the West Coast of the US. NOW may I have another, oh patient Questmaster???------------------

Crusader Yeti, that answer is wrong. Try again. Since it took me so long to inform you, I will add another 100 exp. if you answer it. Sorry about the delays, crusaders. I should be back on track now. Assigned Quests: Mamaja: 236. Since I've made you wait so long for another quest, I will send you on an entertaining one this time. Go watch amovie and return with the answer to this ; What is the name of Bobbie Lee Hartley's imaginary childhood friend in the movie Ode to Billy? 200 exp. Lady Tangledrose 237. Now that you are a brave Knight, I feel that you will not weep if I send you into the realm of matramony for knowledge. Which ring has been handed down from mother to daughter and is used as betrothal and wedding rings? 200 exp. Karmaloupster 238. Crusader, you will travel back in history to the Normandy invasion (D-Day) duing WW II. The night before many countries did a "night drop" parachuting troups behind enemy lines. Since it was dark, what instrument did they use and what was the signal to inform others they were not enemy troups? 100 exp. Get your head out of your ass, Questmaster, and work with your great crusaders! See, I can scold myself.

Oh most wondrous questmaster, I accept QUEST 236. Actually, that's an old favorite of mine - the song and the movie both. And Sagie, beat thyself not about the head over matters of the quest - thy mastery of the snake hath been, well, masterful, and thy time there well-spent! We crusaders should also send in more quests - I know I have slacked off. So I'm slacking on - starting now - I promise!!  ------------------
