So back during NaBloPoHell, I put up a whole big post of Game Day questions.  Unfortunately, it got buried the next day under the following post.  We’re nearing the end of the year, and the Game Day standings are really close, so I wanted to re-post the questions that are still outstanding.  All questions are worth 5 points unless otherwise noted.  Leave your answer in the comments, unless you’re emailing me a cornbread recipe.

  2. What is the difference between a women’s fraternity and a women’s sorority?
  3. Email me your favorite cornbread recipe — sharahblog AT gmail DOT com. (5 for every person who does so)
  4. Quote: “It’s a trick – get an axe!” Name the movie.
  5. Name the Heroes actor recently cast for the upcoming Star Trek, and the role they will be playing.

  15. How can you quickly tell whether pearls are real or fake? Dcfullest
  16. How can you tell whether green Depression glass is authentic or a reproduction? Dcfullest

  19.  Which two Final Fantasy IX characters shared a love connection?

I just updated the Game Day standings on the page at the top.  So you can see where you are in relation to everyone else, and if you want to pick up some last minute points there are some standing points opportunities there open to everyone.  Just follow the links to go back to the original posts for all the details.

One last administrative note: At some point around Sept/Oct when I was looking at what my next steps should be, someone mentioned in the comments about me using a decision tree/decision analysis.  I arbitrarily awarded that person 25 points for use of an engineering concept in real life, and now I can’t find the post or the comment, and I don’t remember who it was!  So if I owe you 25 points (and I know I do), please let me know who you are.  Found it!
