Your sure there weren't any other differences..thought there arent suppose to points awarded for the 5th question... unless your hubby got 50 point bonus for getting the 5th one right?

2 teams in my family.. only difference in answers was 1 team used Distlllery got 135pts other used Livery got 85 pts... so looks like #29 was worth 50pts.. correct answer Distillery
both teams used rocks, James, Arizona 9, Sacramento Thursday....

Our team got 135 and we went with rocks, James, Az 7, Distillery, San Fran/Wed
 
you know theres 4 weeks left and they are going to give extra 10pts for each answer submitted, so thats an extra 200pts added to the grand total, so
seems like everyone is averaging at least 130pts, so lets say your at 900pts right now, and 130pts multiplied by 4(weeks left in game) = 520pts
so 900+520+200=1620 total, theres you computer right there. JUST A ROUGH EXAMPLE that the computer is pretty close as long as they don't
surprise us with something unexpected
 
I just want the smoker... 1100... thats it and any left over points will go to jerky
 
My team been 100 points behind since week one. I mess up not them, on the dart question. Sorry team mates. I also just want the smoker for my husband.

It is OK that dart question was hard for me also:-)
 
Crazie, I'm just happy someone is there submitting for us. Any points we earn, I am happy with. Thank you.
 
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!IT BEEN BUGGING ME SINCE I PUT THE ANSWER IN FOR THE DART QUESTION. I DID NOT KNOW THAT THE CHOICES WHEN FAR THAN 5, DID NOT FIND OUT TILL AFTER I ANSWER THE QUESTION. I DID NOT KNOW THIS WAS SO HARD EITHER.

31. Scoville or Tetzlaff
32. Prosperity Junction
33. Dodge City Days (Should this be in all caps?)
34. Evans
35. 1541
Just throwing these out there!
 
craziecatlady... I think it's pretty much the same as The Contenintal Club sign... advertising/art.
we put that one as THE Contenintal CLUB, and from the low points that week pretty sure we got it wrong. I think the name of the event would be just as you have it typed.
Not sure on an answer for 31 or 35 yet : (

After looking at this again I tend to agree it should be all capital letters
 
#31 how about Speedway


OK, I think I have finally decided on #31:
31) It’s got no ruler, but it acts like one.
It’s got no fixed limits, but it’ll prove you do.
It’s got no mayor, but it sounds like it should.
Give us the name behind it.

- - - - - - -- (8 letters)

I think that the people that pointed out that our first perceptions have been right, are very perceptive. When we first start looking at a clue, we read it as a whole. Then we start picking it apart into little pieces.

When I read this as a whole, I still see a city without a mayor and no speed limits, but it acts like a measuring device.

When I googled Bonneville Salt Flats highway signs or road signs, I found two monuments, one which says it is "Utah's Famed Measured Mile." I also found two separate highway signs giving the exits for Bonneville Speedway.

I have not been happy with Benjamin or Scoville, because they literally come BEFORE.

Give us the name behind it leads me to Speedway.

I think I have to go with that.

Boy-how I wish you could get partial credit for the double part answers-lost 50 points last week on #28 because I had
wrong count........
 
I picked up Benjamin from a yahoo answer , but haven't checked it out yet.
 
I just can't see how speedway sounds like it should have a mayor. Tho it seems to be a popular answer. I think speedway was a quick first thought. I belive Scoville fits the clue best. So for the fishing pole I'll go with Scoville for 60 points please . At least I hope !
 
Any significance to the fact if it is DODGE CITY DAYS there is no A in the picture ???????????
 
There is an A at the very begining its just darker than the other letters
 
Thanks , As my wife says I have selective sight. DODGE CITY DAYS it's going to be.

May change my mind and go from scoville to Speedway . Any objection from my other team members?
But of course Speedway is after Bonneville and Scoville is before scale. Not quite sure how it would put Speedway behind Bonneville??
Ow my head hurts from all this thinking:noidea::brick::rofl:
