I was originally going to use this as the image puzzle:

What month do these strange symbols represent?

+1, I'd heard a couple before, came in handy. I provided an alternate answer for one of them that I found humorous.

[bvbull200]

Can we post guesses to the other puzzle (the one about the month) or do we need to PM them anyways, or just keep to ourselves? I want to know if I'm right, damnit!!!!

I submitted my answer on the month one for extra credit. :D Once you get it, you know you're right.

Really? Just scroll the screen until you are half way through it... It was great on paper, shitty on the computer. :)

[hellmonkey]

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Ha ha...well, I was right, but more because of a guess based on a flawed method. I pulled it up, made some quick glances and shook my eyes back and forth real quick and went with my first impression.

[USCGTO]

off fridays really suck in a way.. and i seem to have left my brain in the office.. pretty much...

PM sent.

[JTSnooks]

I think I got all of them, only one I wasn't sure about was the 4th, but I think I pulled it out.

I'm guessing the answer to #4 isn't "women" :lol:

[Good Vibes]

I've seen most of these, too. Hope I counted all the squares.

Yay!!..

And like most multiple part questions, the first response did not get the bonus points. ;) The first correct response did.

[hellmonkey]

I bet a lot of people missed the square question. I counted multiple times just to be sure. I also dont get the gold one. Ive heard it, but i still dont get it. It can be beat?

he meant Gold is malleable and ductile. Gold is the most malleable and ductile of all known metals.

from the web


1) A single ounce of gold can be beaten into a sheet measuring roughly 5 meters on a side.
2) Thin sheets of gold, known as gold leaf, are primarily used in arts and crafts for gilding.
3) One sheet of gold leaf can be as thin as 0.000127 millimeters, or about 400 times thinner than a human hair.

beaten = beat with a hammer / tool into a shape..

[hellmonkey]

And here I was thinking beat = domestic abuse.

And here I was thinking beat = domestic abuse.

That is your first thought when you hear "Beat"? I've met both you and your girl. No matter what she tells you, that isn't "How all wives treat their husbands." You deserve to be treated like a human, not a punching bag. Get help buddy. You are a good person....

[BackRoadGTO]

Not 4th place again. I need to get some of these bonus points to catch up with everyone.

Ha not us, she hurts me in the bedroom http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i69/hellmonkey69/ whip.gif,

But her friend was arrested when she slapped her now ex-boyfriend after he accused of her of cheating on him and getting knocked up by someone else. He was just a loser drunk :(

on Nov 1, it all starts again. October's top three will be listed in the Winners gallery and a new Score card will start.

Points system will be adjusted as well, The 'normal' score will be:

5 points for 1st
3 points for 2nd
2 points for 3rd
1 point for all others

The tough question (normally on Tues or Wed) will likely be a 3 pointer with Bonus points:

3 points for 1st
2 points for 2nd
1 points for 3rd

Five for Friday will likely be the same as it is now with the same bonus points as the tough question.

That should keep the point totals a little closer and reward those who are trying to answer every day, even if they get in late.

Sad, a slap gets you arrested? How the hell are parents supposed to raise kids? (Did she cheat on him and get knocked up?)

Like I said, he was a drunk loser, and yes a slap is counted as assault if the person wishes to press charges. No she did not cheat. Her daughter even looks like him, which must make her nuts at times.

I didn't answer in time, but the game Golden Tee is what I thought of for the gold question. :) Never would have gotten that one right.

[Good Vibes]

For a second, I thought I went into the wrong thread.

I only knew it because I'd heard that one before.
