Scores for February 2006,
****
Well after this long month we have a tie!
Courtney: 3
Flossy: 3
Now, if only you'd logged in Courtney you could have been the clear winner with your answer to the Wizard of Oz question!
So for the title of "Quiz champion for February," I think a tie break question is in order, what do you think Warmsoul?
****
In my opinion Sarlu should get half a point for her answer "to do with the mouth" (god this half point is going to tax my mathematical skills at the end March!).
****
Good luck all!

Question:

Answer:
"Pick-Up Sticks". Players toss the sticks onto a smooth surface and challenge each other to pick up a designated color without disturbing the sticks of other colors. Today's "pick-up sticks" are usually made of colored wood or plastic. Other names for the game are Mikado (Europe), Spellicans (Britain), Jonchets (France), Selahtikan or Scattering Straws (Lenape Native Americans), Kaiserspiel/Federspiel/Zitterwackel (all Germany) or Chien Tung (China).
New Question:
"The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street" is the nickname for what?
Good luck!

Now if you were studying for an exam, went to google to find the information, would you use it to answer a question on that exam? Point made here?
See no matter where you find the answer, the thing is you learn something new everyday.
Love to you

Question was:
"The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street" is the nickname for what?
Answer is:
The Bank of England, situated on Threadneedle Street.
Disappointed that Stephen did jump in with the answer.
Okay now, new question:
What town derives it's name from an Indian word which means "the town of the sandflies"?
Good luck!
