There's a reason > why there were 12 questions and not more, and their sequence was > relevant as well. Now do you get it? The theme is signs of the zodiac, but I can't tell how all apply without research. Some are (now) obvious - scorpion, Crab Nebula, aqueduct, Salmon P. Chase, aqueduct, Reamur, and the McWhirters, but some are not. I assume Katniss is Sagitarrius in which case Virgo is presumably Elizabeth I, in which case I would probably never have gotten it under the assmumption that the theme applies to the answers and not the questions. -- _______________________________________________________________________ Dan Blum tool@panix.com "I wouldn't have believed it myself if I hadn't just made it up." |

Leo was pretty tenuous (being an "earth" sign), but for the life of me I can't figure out how Capricorn relates to #10, unless it's the Grand Slam events are played on grass or clay, and Capricorn is another "earth" sign, which would be even more tenuous than the Leo connection. |
