5 is correct, not 4 though.

The show has high production value, but the female leads lack the zest of Dorothy Provine, an actress from a much earlier show, The Roaring 20's, set in Chicago.

Correct

4 is correct, but not 1.

One point each for orlok, Hamlet and Fat Abe.

Yes, of course

With four people having one point each, if any of them get number one right, they'll win. If anyone else gets it right it'll be a five-way tie.

Could this be any more exciting?!

Five-way tie. One of you please take it away.

Here's a riddle I couldn't guess:

As I went over London Bridge
I met my sister Jenny
I broke her neck and drank her blood
And left her standing empty.

What is it?

pdurrant · 05-04-2013, 03:20 AM

Someone with a bottle of wine? (dangerous though!)

Fbone · 05-04-2013, 03:52 PM

Supposedly, it's a bottle of gin. The reference to "Jenny" is the clue. It might be a regional joke.

An author's quiz:

What work can not one author finish?

Bookpossum · 05-04-2013, 10:04 PM

Their own autobiography.

Fbone · 05-12-2013, 04:41 PM

A quick restart. Repeat, maybe?

1 would cost $.25
12 would cost $.50
122 would cost $.75

When he left the store he had spent $.75, what did he buy?

orlok · 05-12-2013, 06:19 PM

Three house numbers, 1, 2 and 2, each $.25?
