and imperial air ...

[Laurel]

Gosh, you folks are smart! I could only get two!

[PinkGirl]

#20 10 rations = decoration

Thanks Laurel ... we work hard at these quizzes because of the
prizes.

[Gerri]

Alleged and elusive prizes...

22. diagram

[PinkGirl]

The last one is something like IV League or Ivy League

[Colleens_Husband]

IV league works for me and eskimo pi is a great answer! Decoration is a very clever, and correct answer!

Question No. 21 is tricky. It uses Roman numerals.

[PinkGirl]

Lee etc., Can I have a hint for #17, please?

[Jackie07]

21. C ration - a canned field ration formerly issued to U.S. soldiers (C from canned)

[Colleens_Husband]

Good job Jackie! Completely brilliant answer!

Hint for No. 17

Think German leather.

[Jackie07]

6. rod (Sterling - creator of The Twilight Zone)

[Jackie07]

13. megabyte (?)

19. kingpin (?)

[PinkGirl]

So, 1000 millitres is 1 litre .... it's something about
a litre of wet German socks? I need another hint, please.

[Colleens_Husband]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Goasslschnalzer_in_Tracht.jpg

And this is the last clue I am giving you on question no. 17.

Right click on the little blue box with the question mark and open image if it you do not see the scary picture automatically.

[PinkGirl]

Oh, I get it now. The answer to #17 is one 2 litre container
of Double Chocolate Chip Hagen Daz Ice Cream .... right?

[Colleens_Husband]

Where did the picture go? It showed four goofy German guys wearing leather underwear....... or are they shorts? Or maybe they are the real clue to the question. And I am pretty sure they aren't chocolate chip flavored leather German pants, they are probably leather flavored leather German pants.

[PinkGirl]

Quizmaster: can you tell us which ?'s still need answers. I think
just the really hard ones are left.

[Colleens_Husband]

Okay Pink Girl, your wish is my command. Questions still unanswered with hints.

5. 220 yards is a furlong making this answer a bad pun
16. The basic unit of force in the metric system is the _________
17. Literhosen, the answer is literhosen. Not chocolate chip literhosen, just literhosen.
19. Think turtles
23. Four nickles is equal to how many dimes? Another bad pun.

[PinkGirl]

It's 4 AM ... had a strange dream about German guys ... wearing
leather knee-highs .... eating ice cream cones ... so I'm going to
concentrate on the nickles.

4 nickles = 20 cents = 2 dimes = 10 X 2 = a pair of dimes = ???

[Colleens_Husband]

Yes Pink Girl, a paradigm is the correct answer.

[PinkGirl]

I went back to sleep after my dreadful dream ... hate the ones that
involve leather ... anyway ...

#5 this is a funny one ... Knot Furlong

#16 another funny one ... A Fig Newton

#19 I like turtles .. I usually get a box of them for Christmas
but they're hard on the teeth/fillings

I need help Gerri and Jackie!!!!! Don't leave me now....
