| Daphne, Do you know where they live? Justin has a friend who has a blowtorch. If it's any consolation given the injustice of it all, your experience probably just confirms that you're a master of Steinmania. I've found that for quiz questions the ideal level of knowledge is "*superficial* expertise." Once you cross over into the territory of true expertise, the questions often seem problematic, imprecise, and much trickier. -=John Galt=- > A local pub/restaurant holds Pub Quiz the first Wednesday > of every month - teams get together and answer trivia > questions on all sorts of topics.
