Every day until the end of March, in replies to THIS thread, I'm going to post one, two, or three trivia questions in categories ranging from pop culture to horticulture. If you want to participate, answer the questions in PRIVATE MAIL (click the "private messages" link in the upper-right corner of your screen, under the welcome message) before the NEXT 9:00 p.m. I'll post answers and running scores every day.
This is strictly for fun, but I do have a few nice (little) prizes for the first-, second-, and third-place winners, plus bonus prizes for the loser who submits the most creative answers and the loser who participates most consistently.
Answers are up for debate--if you disagree with my version of the correct answer, we'll open it up for discussion and then I'll rule in the fairest way I can. Remember, it's just for fun! And trust me, the prizes are not worth getting worked up about! They're nice, but they're not THAT nice!
I have run little games like this on bulletin boards, on mailing lists, and on Saimin (r.i.p.), and every time I've done it, someone messes things up and posts his or her answers in PUBLIC. Please, don't do this! Send me your answers in private mail.
So, two quick rules about that: first, if you p/mail me your answers and then change your mind before 9:00 in the evening, I'll accept your most recent submission. Second, if someone posts answers in public, the rules still apply--everyone who submits correct answers in p/mail, even after the public post, will get credit.
Okay. Let the games begin. First questions appear in the next reply.
