h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

But I'm in a generous mood today, so I am allowing a certain amount of revision if contestants are not convinced of the accuracy of their first answer. Now rereading the thread, it strikes me that there is an element of doubt in your mind, so I think that this option to change your mind should be extend to you, should you so chose to use it

Thanks a zillion, this is very kind of you .

But, no thanks, I'll stick to Rembrandt, if I may say so.

Congratulations! You are absolutely correct with your answer of Rembrandt

...and I have now run out of question cards for the day

And you obviously didn't hear me when I said that I have now run out of question cards for the day

Well till tomorrow then.. have a on me

*sings* "there are more questions than answers"
Till tomorrow BG

Well I'm home now, back in the place where I keep all the question cards. So would you like the next one?

(And can someone remind me how far through the chain we are? I think that thsat drawn out Rembrandt affair was number 3, but I'm not sure.)

Go on; I'm here.

B

It was indeed Q3...

Ok, let us begin

Q4: To whom was Billy Bones first mate?

Well, according to http://www.geocities.com/brownejenkyn/pals2.html it's Captain Kidd, but I think the author may have some personal problems (like lack of girlfriend).

B

*thumbs through his copy of Treasure Island*

I think the actual answer may be Captain Flint, however.

B

And it seems he has a lack of knowledge about Treasure Island as well The correct answer is Captain Flint!

New chain...


Q1: What did Vincenzo Peruggia steal?

Objection m'lud!

That first post was clearly a link to a humourous () URL, and was never intended to be the correct answer.

B

And you think I care

No, but I thought you might be vaguely conscientious.

*Considers requesting LHG's permanent replacement of GD as quizmaster*

B

Who would you want to have instead?

Well, LHG would do just fine...

Oh, wait, you mean 'have (as quizmaster)', do you?
