Of course, also a heartfelt 'thank you' to our game leaders. I'm sure they have spent many a night working on a quiz in which the challenge was on par with what could be expected of the BM-ers.
I think a last question could have been added though.
Q13: how many bottles of J. did our game leaders empty in the appropriate manner in order to bring joy to us all ?
Cheers,
uncle rubl

Cheers, uncle rubl That is classified information. Ah, but TTFT already spilled some of the beans, whispering in the shoutbox. Suffering from a MOAH and that only from 'activities' while leading the gameshow. Assuming a certain level of intelligence in the game leaders and double that to get to a number of bottles per preparation session and multiply by the number of sessions. Round to the nearest multiple of 10. If you end up with an unbelievable number it's probably correct. |
