Welcome the new TRIVIAMEISTER!!!

We promise to treat you with every bit of honor, respect and reverence we gave the previous two. :biggrin:

 

[fiferb]

Keep in mind I did this last year so I won't be making any of the rookie mistakes. (just the dumb ones)

 

[fiferb]

I got it. I got 4 right off the bat.

Man and I thought my last question was bad!!!!b:biggrin: At least you won't need to give clues!

 

[THarvey]

You don't actually think you have to make a mistake to feel the love from the IAP forum, do you?

 

[fiferb]

Of course not. :biggrin:

[GaryMadore]

Gary

[dgscott]

Hey -- I like these new questions. They're a lot easier than the ones before (How many IAP members wear boxers, and how many wear briefs? How many does that leave with questionable behavior?)

[mrcook4570]

How old are we?

I added the ages of all 6996 members and came up with 288936 years.

 

[hilltopper46]

There has to be a trick to the answer of this question.... Hmmmm.... What is he REALLY asking??????????????????

 

[jlg2x]

I think he's going for the most responses record!:wink:

[David M]

I added the ages of all 6996 members and came up with 288936 years.

but if you take the answer multiply by number of years in leap year . double that and add one leap year to that , i think that would be my age

 

[Russianwolf]

let's see 2 plus 5 carry the 7 divided by 3 subtract 17......

dang it Skye distracted me and I have to start over, Where's my abacus?

 

[Skye]

I plead the fif! Five oh! One two three fo fiiiiiiiiif *clinks glass* fiiiiiiiiiiiiif.

 

[GaryMadore]

Hey everone!

Lookit the new TriviaMeister's screen name: FIFEr

Wonder what it means... Hmmmmmm..... reminds me of something... Something....

I dunno, something.... quantative. Yeah, that's it.

I'm not sayin'

Cheers!

Gary (just sayin' ....)

 

[pssherman]

You missed a few. We have 7106 members. Looks like you got to start over and add em all up again.

 

[David M]

6996 active members ?

 

[GaryMadore]

Yeah, but how many of them are Engineers? You see, engineers are not actually "born" so they don't actually have "birthdays" ....

I don't mean to overly complicate this... Well, wait, yes I do

Cheers!

Gary

 

[chuybregts]

We do too have birthdays! Except ours are in hex, which makes me... 1E or e-teenth year

(hope my entry goes through)

We astrophysicists have birthdays too, but we know that they don't matter because the sun is going to explode in 6x10^9 years....



Gary (thinkin' that hex is for nerds, in Canada)

 

[hdbblue]

Good thing that Dion didn't ask this question or we'd have had to figure it out in DOG years.

 

[Scott-n-KY]

Maybe the answer is Bruce's location

Location: Ninety Six, SC, USA.

Now THAT was funny! (and smart too)

Cheers!

EXACTLY! Ninety minus six is, er, 80-something. Plus... Hey, wait a minute! I don't get it....

Cheers!

Gary

 

[Scott-n-KY]

I guess I will have to give a hint...

Take the population of Ninety Six, SC, from the 2000 census, subtract their area code twice, subtract the name of the town twice, then subtract 220 x their percent of native american population. It's that easy

If he lived in Eighty Four , PA it wouldn't work

Oh yeah! I see it now. Uh.... Oh, wait, uh..... ummmmmmm

mmmm... area code twice, you say? Mmmmmmm....

(carry the two, sum the next column, ....)

Ummmmm... Yeah, I get it now. Sure.

Geez, you'd have to be a simpleton to not see that one!



Cheers!

[great12b4ever]

Nahh!!! All yall have it wring the answer is very simple. We need to find the number of years so,

N= (PR-SE) divided by (365x24) x {(pi x B) squared over M} and you have the answer to the -9power.

See, very simple with 12 :beer::beer::beer:

 

[Russianwolf]

I've found the solution, I'll just spin this......

If you only subracted the first four digits of my zip code from this towns population you'd be in negative numbers. Very small town.

You all are cracking me up.:biggrin:

No problem, just take a deep breath and hold it until you recieve yours.

 

[PenAffair]

OK I know I shouldn't do this, but for those who can't figure it out, here's the real answer.
