Maybe TosaInu could add the Jeopardy final music to the web site?

I guess using internet, encyklopedias and other sources or not will be up to the individual. No harm in that really I think

If it takes longer then, lets say two hours, before a new question is asked by a person answering the previous question, then the first person noticing this can ask a new question.

Well ill ask the next question just to get the thread to continue;

What was the name of the shortlived (good) Swedish colony in Africa in mid 17th century?`

Kraxis, please sticky this. It deserves because at least at TWC, it has a big success. I hope it does here.

My question:
When was the conquerer of Constantinople born? (exact day, month, year!)

[matteus the inbred]

March 30 1432, it says here. Which was a Thursday, I think. That's the conquerer of Constantinople anyway. I've no idea about any African Swedish colonies!!! Do we have to answer both before another question can be posed?

[edyzmedieval]

I don't think so.

Here's a really difficult one:
Portuguese colony established in the South of Africa.
Which is it, and when it was established?

I'll give a prize to whoever answers this.

[matteus the inbred]

i don't know that! aaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieee....

sorry. couldn't resist the old Monty Python thing.

[edyzmedieval]

I am waiting for the response.

[Kalle]

Sorry to interfere, my intention, and I think it is the usual procedure at other forums with threads like this, is that after having answered your question about Constaninople Matteus asks the next question not a new question from Edyz at once.

Also if you do not know the answer to a question, restrain urself from posting until it is clear that no one knows or can find an answer.

Please keep to this from now on allthough we will continue from Edyz last question.

ps the Swedish colony was called Cabo Corso ds

[Csargo]

I don't think so.

Here's a really difficult one:
Portuguese colony established in the South of Africa.
Which is it, and when it was established?

I'll give a prize to whoever answers this.

I couldnt find the answer to this GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[edyzmedieval]

Luanda, Angola.

Founded in 1576 as a Portuguese colony.
And there's another one, in Mozambique, founded in 1498.

[edyzmedieval]

He's not the admin anymore. Kukri is.

[aw89]

What? When did this happen?

[Csargo]

What? When did this happen?

Go look in the Watchtower I think the thread is called Forum Adm.

Well we need a new question

[Strike For The South]

How long did the republic of TEXAS last?

[Aenlic]

I guess I should read the thread on forum admin. Kukri it is!

So, where are we at in questions which follow the rules? Edyz answered his own question. Who is is next?

[Kalle]

Lets continue with Strike for souths question.

Whoever answers the question correctly asks the next question.

Please keep on topic and take discussions about other issues elsewhere.
