mrrice Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I don't know how you guys got 30 and 31. The closest I could get was 9 prisons in San Antonio. Thanks for the game (and the answers). It was a great time waster. ted Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was a great time waster. tedI started with things that I knew "SA" could mean, then started thinking of things that might make up or be a part of those things that I had substituted for "SA". Soon enough, I had my answer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MeDave Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 dave mathews, steven biko, nelson mandella, etc. i got 26 of em with no help at all. 3 of the ones i missed i should have got (12,20,33) the sports ones i'd never have got without help. its interesting to think of how the perspective of a 'test' can influence the outcome - test critics (ie. the act, sat, etc.) are always talking about how the references in the tests are biased against low income and urban kids (ie. yacht:aft :: automobile: ) etc. but without seeing it its easy to dismiss at times - funny to be on the other side of being 'less intelligent' on a test based on it assuming certain cultural knowledge.

Elixir Sue Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I got 27. "SA" had me thinking about South America..."9 paises in South America??" And I could have pondered #31 for YEARS and would still never have come up with the correct answer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jenbobblehead Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 damn. I got about 18 on my own but i needed wacky hints from caliber to get the rest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
explodo Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Between two doses, probably about thirty or forty minutes, I got 25. And now that I know the answers to the rest.....I'm pretty sure I never would have gotten a couple of the others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattZ Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 17 should be "on" not "in" that messed with me. Good thing I am a genius. 29 so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cryptique Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 17 should be "on" not "in"Not if you're British. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattZ Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Not if you're British. I have a sinking feeling that these last 4 are really obscure British references that I will never get. Bloody annoying, if you ask me. EDIT: one of these should be how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall. That would be cool. Since they know now and all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
