Gah, then you could just write 'a human mistake' as the answer.

No... That was the question.
Human Mistake
What human mistake caused the Hotel New World disaster in Singapore?

I know, I submitted that question to amarise. My point is, if you aren't being specific, you could almost put whatever you want as the answer. Take your 9th question.
9. Where does the name "Reebok" originate? From a word
And it does come from a word, just so you'd know.

We had an answer for number 8, so yours is actually wrong.
Not to jump in the fray, but the song is Gretchen Wilson featuring Merle Haggard. Most Google sites don't mention that, but it's more of a duet than a soloist with a backup singer. However, whatever TOSO decides is fine with me.
And TOSO, unless you were going with whoever got the most wrong, I think you made a mistake on the winners.
You were right, CW.
Thanks for having me change it.

I'd like to point out a couple of mistakes.
For the questions the Cheery Tomatoes had to answer: There actually is an answer to question #8. I won't reveal the answer unless Toso asks us to.
For the questions the B Sharps had to answer: Alt126 works just as well as Alt0126. For question 15, Nicole is derived from Nicolette. The name Nicolette is derived from Nicholas. We were not asked about the derivation of the name Nicolette.
I would also like to point out an error in a question asked by the Cheery Tomatoes. Question #2: "In what play would you hear the phrase 'If you offer me pheasant, I'd rather have grouse'?" The answer is Cats, and Cats is a musical, not a play. And yes, there is a major difference between a play and a musical.
Those are my current beefs. [/rant]

Oh my god... Wow. I made a lot of mistakes there. I made a couple of mistakes grading (the answer to the unicycle question was Donald Rumsfeld, and I totally missed that), and a lot of answers that could go more than one way, I'll open the challenge up to both teams. I'll also throw in 5000 NP for everyone stressing out so bad. The interesting fact challenge still stands, though, but after this I promise I won't have any trivia challenges for quite a while. Both teams will have to submit seperate lists in usual fashion, and they are due at 11:59 Sunday night.
The pot currently stands at 62700 NP.

It's no problem, TOSO.
Frankly, I'm beat with the trivia, so if my teammates wish to make a list on their own, please feel free.

Kuge's team has already sent in two different lists, but the Cheery Tomatoes have not. If you wish to be in this challenge, you need to hurry up everybody!

Honestly, it's a possibility we might not end up sending in a list. (Which is perfectly okay with me.
)

Maybe Maya sent it in just in case?
Sun Apr 02, 2006 10:54 pm
OH, duh. xD
Ok, that's probably right.

Yeah, I sent in my own list 'cos I didn't know if you got it Kuge. 
Better to be safe than sorry!
