IAP TRIVIA CONTEST !!!

All entries "postmarked" before noon ET of the contest closing day will be placed in a hat(electronic hat, actually) and two winners selected. Winners will be the first two entries selected at random that are valid and have the correct answer to the contest question. The winners will be announced on contest closing day at 8 P.M. ET (or thereabouts as the TriviaMeister's schedule permits:wink

and the decision of the TriviaMeister will be final.

Man yesterday was sure fun glad I did not pick on attorneys! And again many tried way too hard to find the trick word so read carefully below today's question
Oh and by the way (GaryMadore, PenMaker) have been disqualified for breaking rule number 1! (don't mess with my dog) And Skye is on the bubble!:wink:

Question for day 14.....

In 2004 who wrote the article on making copper wire pens? Analyze all eleven words of the question. Process it in your brain? What is he really asking? There has to be a trick? Is the author and the guy who wrote the same guy? Who? Is he really asking for a name here or does he really want the guys social security number for positive ID?

Email your answer to:....................CLICK HERE

Note: "Laundry list" entries that include several possible alternative answers are "NOT" acceptable. Submit only one answer per question or question part(if there is a multi-part question) unless the question specifically asks for multiple answers. Thanks.

No this is fun!!!!!!:biggrin:

Wow are you lucky!! The Dee Ohh GEE has let you think you are in control for ANOTHER DAY. And you learnt how to spell Engineer. But knowing your devious mind, I am still working thru the tricks and possible pitfalls in todays question. SO far I have only found 5, but there has to be more... there has to be..

Daniel · Feb 14, 2009

Careful with this one folks. it is loaded with pitfalls and miss leading phrases. It is completely camouflaged as a question that looks like it is asking simply for a name. When in fact the correct answer is... well, simply a name. Just like Dion to ask a straight forward question just to throw everyone off isn't it.

hdbblue · Feb 14, 2009

Was he an engineer????

dntrost · Feb 14, 2009

UPDATE!

Rob is now also disqualified for breaking rule number 1

And who would of thought a neighbor would turn on me!:cowboy:

great12b4ever · Feb 14, 2009

great12b4ever · Feb 14, 2009

I must be on a roll!! I have been disqualified TWO days in a row!!

Dion, you know what they say about us southern guys and the "northern neighbors."

:biggrin::devil:

You jest, but careful analysis of the question revealed a thinly disguised trap: Dion said to read the "eleven" words of the question, but if you spell out "two thousand and four" ...

See? He IS diabolical. Or, rather, perhaps the Dee-Oh-Gee is

<---- Dion, this smiley is NOT making fun of your dog! LOL

Cheers!

It gets even trickier... 2004 is a number so maybe this is a 10 word question. This is going to take a lot of thought.

Egad! You're right! Yet another angle to be considered... Where, oh where is Pythagoras when we need him?

Dion, I'm beginning to think that you're not as dumb as you look.....

Cheers!

The answer is way too obvious. All you have to do is look at the persons hands in the article and you know it's "George the Animal Steel".

Pen Maker · Feb 14, 2009

It was Barney Fife, he wrote the article Feb, 29th 2003 a whole year before IAP was established as a legitimate internet address. He registered his procedure with Al Gore the inventor of the internet by sending his note via the United State Postal Service which delivered the package before he even sent it out, then he went to SAM's Club for a cheesecake snack. On the way home he stopped at Wally-world and picked up epoxy! That Barney sure is multi-tasking. Just to make sure.... No Copper Wire was harmed in any way in the making of this post.

Oh WAY to ruin the suspense for everyone.

Dang

From what I have heard, he was an Engine Foot when he first started out. Spent a short time as a Engine chin before making his way up to an Engine nose. not sure if he ever made it round to being an engine ear or not.

dntrost · Feb 14, 2009

Daniel,
Thanks for leaving my dog out of this! :biggrin:

PS: I might not count that good but I think I might only have one correct answer so far.... What do you think about that?

Was it from one of the "disqualified" members?

I wonder who wins the random number generator for one entry?
