try this category you blankety-blanks!

Post by Paucle »

Here's a for-fun category, one which everyone can participate in, no matter your answering strategy! (Though one boardie might have an unfair advantage.)

1. It's what's produced when you strike the largest key on most QWERTY keyboards.
2. This Scrabble tile can be used to represent any letter, but is worth zero points.
3. A starter pistol fires one of these to begin a race.
4. A locksmith can turn one into a duplicate of your key.
5. This Asimov short-story finds two time-travellers ultimately stuck in non-time.

I clammed on 1 through 4, and went with I, Robot for 5, although I don't think that's right. When are you going to give us the answers?

Don't you see them? They're all right there in the first post. (Actually, I don't know the answer to number 5, so I am only assuming that's the answer.)

If I had 50 cents for every math question I got right, I'd have $6.30 by now.

By the way, that Asimov story sounds suspiciously like a Family Guy episode that I saw once. I wonder if that was where Asimov got the idea for it. Seth MacFarlane should totally sue him.

I'm sorry, but I'm drawing a blank on each of these questions...
