Edit: wait, we can research??

I purposely choose puzzles that cant be researched very easily, but a few of the ones tonight could have been googled unfortunately

yeah...SMEG-MA

Uh, and?

You google them meaning you can google each item and link them. Even with the ones that arent so direct (IE: Answers which aren't reference to history) google/wikipedia still helps get a grasp.

Use your resources!

Oi, fight me like a man. With the brain that doesn't start with C:\ .

How are you suppose are you suppose to get Thomas Jefferson/Cousteau without wikipedia unless you just happen to be a oceanographer/american historian?

Keldorn · « **Reply #206 on:** December 16, 2009, 01:31:47 am »

google -- Although I guess you included that when you said "wikipedia"...

~Ground Rules~
1. We use the honor code around here (no googling, however the vast majority of these cant be solved by a google search)
2. Be quick, this gets heated (Smeg vs Geo hehehe)
3. Have fun

Addendum to the first post

Very true, but those (few) puzzles are a rarity

EDIT: in the future ill steer clear of historical figures, etc. unless they are extremely recognizable (although obvious puzzles defeat the purpose of brainteasers imo)

Keldorn · « **Reply #208 on:** December 16, 2009, 01:34:37 am »

So...if none of us are allowed to Google for those "rare" ones...we're just meant to wait until a oceanographer/american historian comes along?

Uh..I could only see getting Cousteau because of a rather skewed knowledge base I've picked up. As for Jefferson, I'll have to look back at the question.

Edit: Meh, don't skimp the good ones just 'cause they can't be googled. That's what hints are for, after people pull a little hair out.

You know what you should do? Post like half a million questions, then make a leader board something like this:

Smega: X
The Geologist: X
Keldorn (Captain Awesome, AKA The one with the huge cajones): X
Everybody else: X

Aww damn I was wrong twice. : C
Btw holy crap the thread grew like 10 pages since yesterday.

Keldorn · « **Reply #215 on:** December 16, 2009, 07:15:58 am »

I'd like to take the time now to point out the fact that Smegma in 1st has like 1100% more answers than me in 5th. Sweet.

EDIT:
I'd also like to take some time now to act like a fag and point out the fact that despite 4th place of Poppin & Lord Frunka being in opposite alphabet order, Me (Captain Awesome, AKA The one with the huge cajones) and Laser Guy ARE in alphabetical order.

Unless of course you have a complex, multi-step process to define which name comes first (Possibly similar to my Optimal-Furniture-Arranging-System, or simply based on the size of the guy's/girl's/hermaphrodite's cajones. In which case Smegma would automatically come last for having them measured in negatives.)
