...is a new event held at Rocky Mountain Tavern in Itaewon every Monday night at 8:20ish pm.

All individuals/teams are welcome.

Come give it a try!

Directions to Rocky Mountain Tavern:

If you're standing in front of the Hamilton, cross the street and turn left at Burger King. Now, walk straight for about a block and a half (past the firehouse). Rocky Mountain Tavern is just past the huge set of steps leading up "the Hill".

There are totem poles out front. Look for the sign with the Canadian flag.

Was there last Monday and it was a hoot. Check out my schwa!

[sarangme]

For the record, chiaa's "schwa" was the biggest. Whether or not it was actually a schwa is another story.

What is a schwa? Could you draw one?

Well, Lance Armstrong used to ride for US Postal but his team is now called Discovery.

Nepal's flag is triangular and Switzerland's is square. I count two countries, not one.

[sarangme]

A square is still a rectangle.

[JacktheCat]

[Pyongshin Sangja]

Hmmm.

[sarangme]

You made short work of it.

Of course it was a team effort.

Allow me to post the most difficult questions asked so far.




Stage and Screen

What play features a game of "literal" verbal tennis between its two main
characters?

Mesopotamia was composed of three lands. Babylon, Sumer, and what?

Bear in mind that other easier questions are also asked:

Who, according to legend, was hit by an apple in the process of discovering gravity?

We hope to make a spread of questions that will cater to all.

Feedback is welcome.

[sarangme]

You're 3-for-6, assuming your knowledge of violinists selling their souls outdistances mine.

The popular answer was Charlie Daniels, but there was no selling involved.

A square IS a rectangle.

[sarangme]

Rosencrantz et al. is right.

Assyria is right.

'66 is right.

[Pyongshin Sangja]

Thanks. I googled the violinist. I'll leave it up to someone else. It's not Charlie Daniels, someone much older. I'm still stumped on the HG Wells. Are you sure I'm wrong about Holmes? I think I'm right. I don't give a flying fig about the Houston Texans, though. Allright, a square is a rectangle but it's a special kind with a special name, so let's move on.
