Title: Quiz Challenge thread!!!
Post by: Gowan on March 22, 2008, 09:40:14 PM
Ok, this is a contest, and not a protest (da-dum-ching). I'll put up ONE hint and the first 4 people to get it right and post it here get points based on what place they got. I don't know how many rounds it will go for but I think it will be fun. Prize to be decided, probably something shiney.

Point Breakdown

1st place-7 points
2nd place-6 points
3rd place-5 points
4th place-4 points
Everyone else-2 points

Once a new question is posted, answers for previous questions are not accepted.
Use ANY means available in order to obtain your answer (except bribing/torture/anything involving me)
All hints have something to do with WWII.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!
