Richard Burton (not the actor.) Curiously enough, he meets with #60 🙂 Correct (And it’s not a coincidence that he met up with #60, as I was racking my brain for trivial knowledge, so several times ended up with thematically linked questions in close proximity…) > [@Mooney252](#): > > This one I knew by heart from the stunning narration of Leonard Graves in “Victory at Sea.” It goes something like this: > _“Kagi – sunk. Soryu – sunk. Akagi – sunk. Hiryu – smashed and sinking.”_ > > The Hiryu was damaged badly, then actually sunk 3 days after the battle by a Japanese submarine on June 7 because it was adrift and uncontrollable. Correct. (I really need to see _Victory at Sea_) > [@ShibbOleth](#): > > I knew the Hillary Swank one, but otherwise my only other decent guess is “DOS for Dummies”. There are a couple of others in there that I knew and have since forgotten, but most I have no clue. Correct (as you looked up, you google-weenie 🙂 ) > [@dutchboy208](#): > > \ stupid post-eating foru… ooh it’s back! > > 1. He was, I believe, head of the Center for Mathematics @ UW-Madison. As to why this was controversial, I haven’t a clue. Counting on his hands too often? I’m guessing you currently serve in said post, or enjoy cheese. > > 2. Haverford or TCU. > > 3. Contact? It didn’t happen in the movie, but it sounds right. 1. You’re on the right track. He was at UW-Madison. But he had a specifically controversial job. (I believe he was also chair of the math department for a while, but that’s beside the point). 2. Haverford is correct. (It’s my alma mater as well, which is how I happen to know… other famous Haverford grads include Dave Barry and Maxfield Parrish. Chevy Chase attended, but did not graduate). 3. Incorrect. > [@lurkernomore](#): > > people > (at least from Tosev 3) Kind of. But I’m looking for the frequently-used derogatory term for them… the equivalent of “lizards”. > [@lurkernomore](#): > > 4.77Mhz? > > Windows FD? wrong and wrong > [@DocCathode](#): > > IIRC Little Fuzz Face. It’s also discovered that the Fuzzfolk love K rations. Close but not correct > [@LVgeogeek](#): > > _14. After the network switch, what was Peggy the Foul Mouthed Chambermaid known as?_ > > Peggy the Foul Mouthed Chambermaid was a CBS Late Show with David Letterman Character. Before that she was the ‘Bookmobile Lady’ on the Late Show when it was on NBC. OK, I may have to clarify this one, as I was asking with incomplete information, and have now googled around some… Peggy apparently appeared on both NBC and CBS (in perhaps her greatest NBC appearance, she appeared in a production of _As You Like It_ with **Pea Boy** ). Also appearing on NBC was the Bookmobile Lady, played by the same actress. When Dave moved to CBS, the same actress played a character who was obviously a renamed version of **Peggy the Foul Mouthed Chambermaid** , likely due to “intellectual property” concerns. Later on, the character’s name was changed back to **Peggy The Foul Mouthed Chambermaid**. The question is, what was that other, briefly-used, name? > [@Shade](#): > > \*\*55. What novel has a main character whose name is a delightful play on words, in that both his first and last names are (perhaps with minor spelling modifications) English words which mean “main character of a book”?\*\*_Hiro Protagonist_ in _Cryptonomicon_ by Neal Stephenson. > > **39. What is a “Fyunch Click”?** > > A Motie mediator assigned to study and emulate a master or human. From Larry Niven’s (& Pournelle’s?) “Mote in God’s Eye”. Go read it, all of you philistines 🙂 You’re right about “Fyunch Click”. And you’re right about **Hiro Protagonist**. But you’re wrong about _Cryptonomicon_ > [@Leaper](#): > > It deals 2 damage to each creature for each enchantment on it. And, for some reason, it’s blue. Correct. (Also, it’s perhaps the worst magic card ever printed.) > [@VampyChick](#): > > Supreme Court decision that allowed censorship of school newspapers.

What is the name of the bad guys in the classic computer game _LodeRunner_? > The Mad Monks You’re correct about 45 and 51. You’re wrong about 43, unless he went to Haverford for undergrad and Yale for business school, or something of that sort. Your answer for 11 is an understandable error… in later versions of the game they were, in fact, referred to as “Mad Monks”, but they had a different name in the original LodeRunner. > [@Finagle](#): > > 1. What will happen if all the ploys we’ve picked to really work to bring to pass occur? > > We won’t have just a victory, we’ll have ourselves a massacre. Correct ---
