SAGEBRUSH QUESTIONS


To help those under 70 points of second place leader, these people will score double for these and it won't count against their daily limit. Although it won't count as your daily, you can answer only one of these bonus questions per day. This offer is good until they get within range or The Blowout / Catch-up Round (last 5 week days of the month/game).

All others may answer, but for 20 points and it will count as your daily.

Name the artist for these songs:


S15. Let There Be Drums
S16. Machines
S18. One Voice

Good Luck !

Q16. What do the following letters have in common, what is their common trait? This is not a numbers thing or a sequence, you are looking at the answer, and the answer is not that they are written in order or they are contiguous in the alphabet.

Answer:

Q.4 is 164. I think Sypher counted the middle square which is a double word score square although not labelled as such. It merely has a star on it and is pink.

Oh yeah George, maybe you are right. I knew what I was talking about and luckily you read my thoughts.

21. Fa - a musical note (in sol-fa)

22. The earliest cricket bat known to survive is housed at "The Oval". Who did it belong to and what inscription is on it?


Georgie...I have forgotten all the rules.
Do I owe another question from yesterday (Ft time)?
Or do I just supply a question per DAILY that I answer? It's been so long.

ac, the rules got clarified a few months back .. we aren't allowed to carry over unsubmitted questions; we answer one daily and one stumper each FT day and may submit one question for each answer, question must be submitted same FT day (not within 24 hours of posting an answer) .. so if we don't submit our question by 23:59 on the same FT day as our answer, the opportunity to submit a question is gone e.g. I've got another 21 hours or so to submit a question for the 12:08am answer
p.s.we're gonna get a blast for talking in here

sage, I've noticed this is numbered #101 - it's Trivia Shootout Game #12? .. rather than starting a new sequence - there's my tuppence worth
