Here are the answers everyone has been dying to read, no doubt. At the first
of Aug, I posted this quiz. Thinking it was a relativly easy quiz, I waited
for the deluge of answers. A whopping 1 answer came in from The Leepers.
Moriarty didn't even make a stab at it. It must have been tougher than I
thought. But some of these were just plain easy, like:
"Who was the Third Platoon, B Company, 41st Armored Division?"
Can't you just imagine an ex-Not-Ready-For-Prime-Time-Player yelling out
"That's a fact, Jack!" in response to that question?
The question denoted by (*) are the ones The Leepers answered correctly.
They won the first prize, namely:
A GENUINE original (not a cheap xerox) Trivial Pursuit Genus Edition
playing card autographed by the members of the Dallas/Ft. Worth Trivial
Pursuit Championship team (me and a few friends).
If they would be so kind as to mail me their USnail address, the Postal System
would be happy to lose it.
