I could do that from memory, I’ve seen the movie version about a million times, but wish I could see the book as a movie that included more of the backstory. ---

anyrose: > [@](#): > > ok - HHGG is as much a trilogy as Foundation, but as the joke goes “how many books in a science fiction trilogy?” “As many as the author wants” At least Foundation stayed a trilogy for thirty years - HHGG’s fourth book came out after pretty much the same interval that separated the first three books from one another as well. ---

Black Beauty Man, that was tough - the answers I came up with easily I expect are (as usual) too UK-centric, and the ones I really struggled with will probably score even worse. #2 refers to either Michael Crichton’s or Arthut Conan Doyle’s work, but if it needs to be specific it was the dinosaurs I was originally thinking of! #9 - McWatt flies his plane into a mountain deliberately after accidentally slicing Kid Sampson in half. ---
