Questions vary from easy to hard....This is NOT a knowledge quiz,
nor just trivia....as time goes, the questions become more fun....or
dumber.....The Tryons did it by short answer, but I will add some
multiple choice for you.....Questions become like: Who is the third
president of the USA? to what brand of shoe is Randy wearing? or
name a person who Peggy Clark DID NOT date in high
school..(that is tough)....What is the third book in the bible? ..How many squares in a checker board? or the main
ingredient in Ranch dressing?....What color was a Mediapolis
tractor?.......Anything goes....great fun in our old and new
houses....We would have 10-30 players....eventually no one cared
about any score...Little sister would keep score and declare who
answered first, which would almost always be
controversial....ties were ties......thrown out.....obviously a
little ornery and rambunctious. Lots of laughs.....If it is your turn to ask a question and you can not think of one, you would just pass....So some were not very active players and basically laughed and observed...You could ask an easy question for the youngsters by saying, "OK, for the young ones, How old is grandpa?".....One question little brother came up with was how many holes/squares did the registers in our ceiling have?.....OK, this was not Einstein's theory.......Try this with your family over Christmas if you have a large gathering...You can still eat and play.....Highly encouraged...The Family That Plays Together, Stays Together.....I am always setting up contests..... So here are our dirty dozen questions for today....Answers are below: |
