From: Dan Tilque
You have a week to file your income taxes (if you're an American) but
only two days to send in your entry for this contest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This is my first attempt at a Rare Entries contest. The rules will
follow those of Mark's games with one exception, which I'll get to later.
As usual, reply ONLY BY EMAIL to dtilque@frontier.com DO NOT post
answers to this newsgroup. Anyone who does will be disqualified.
Entries must reach here by Sunday, April 10, 2011 (Pacific Daylight
Time, UTC -7).
Do not include any of the text from this posting with your answers. Just
send a list of your answers numbered from 0 through 9. Make sure that
the subject line includes the string "DJT01".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0. Name a Solar System body that a spacecraft has orbited.
1. Give a chemical element that is an intentional constituent of a coin
issued by a national government since 1950. The coin must have been
issued for circulation, not for collectors or investment purposes.
'Intentional' is meant to rule out various trace elements that are
virtually impossible to remove from metal; the element must be one that
is desired by the makers to be in the coin. Yapese Rai stones, which are
sometimes called coins, are excluded from this question.
2. Give the name of a cartographic feature whose English name is of the
form "Sea of Xxxx".
3. Give the English name for a chess piece. Note that pawns are not
considered to be pieces in chess.
4. Name a country the United States has officially declared war on.
5. Name a country or state/province whose official flag contains an
asterism. That is, it has an arrangement of stars which intentionally
mimics that of a star pattern in the sky.
6. Name a US President or Vice President whom a city was named after.
The city must have a population of at least 10,000.
7. Name an organized sport that has goals but no goalkeepers. Note that
"goal" here refers to a stationary physical object used in the scoring
of points for the game, not as a synonym of "objective".
8. Give a common (uncapitalized) English term which is sometimes used to
refer to Puma concolor (a.k.a. Felis concolor). The term may be either
single word or multiple word, but terms that differ from each other only
by minor spelling variation, spaces, hyphens, apostrophes, or other
punctuation will be considered the same.
9. Some things get their name from the material they are (or were)
typically made from. Examples are drinking glasses and eyeglasses (even
though eyeglasses are now usually made from acrylic). Name something of
this category where the material is some sort of metal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
For those who are unfamiliar with the game, the object is to find
correct answers to the 10 items which have the fewest other people
giving the same answer. Wrong answers will be penalized. Feel free to
use any reference materials you wish to research your answers.
Scoring: For each item, the score will be set to how many people gave a
particular answer. If someone gives an answer no one else gives, they
score 1; if one other person gives that answer, both score 2; etc. Total
score will be the ten individual scores multiplied together. Low score wins.
Wrong answers will score twice the highest correct score for that item.
This is the only difference from Mark's rules.
Have fun!

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #291 (GOLQ291)
Welcome to GOLQ291! All 25 songs and the two tie breakers are linked
together with a relatively easily recognizable theme that should help
identify the many middle-of-the-chart songs and the few real "stumpers."
Enjoy!

Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #291
Recordings #01-25 were from 1956 through 1969
Due 5:00 p.m. EDT (GMT-4), Saturday, April 30, 2011
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
She's got eyes so bright
Sky blue
A voice so soft
Just like the morning dew
#01)
I am the egg man
#02)
Both their hearts are in tune with a love song
Every promise they make they mean
For true love is the treasure of treasures
When you're only seventeen
#03)
One, two, kiss-a-lirio
Kiss, two, we're delirio
And we soon may hear-io
Oh, promise me
#04)
Get away from my chick
#05)
We get along so well
I know just why I fell
She's thrillin', oh, chillin'
Yes, she's so divine
#06)
She's changed her rags to perfume
And she's got me all confused
Her picture's on the front page, y'all
She finally made the news
#07)
Now all you chicks agree
That this ain't the way it's supposed to be
Let me hear you, let me hear you say, "yeah, yeah"
#08)
The last time I saw her, man what a shape
Now she's got a shape like an egg
#09)
You know it's drivin' me mad
'Cause when I look in his eyes
I can see it, paradise
So I can't help it
#10)
She does all this and you wouldn't surmise
This chick needs no disguise
Here's a thing that would be the prize
#11)
She's a trip into space in a rocket for two
She's sequins and laces and bubble gum too
She's stolen the heart that I'm happy to lose
#12)
Who is the chick I would pick as the absolutely perfect miss for me to kiss
Who is the girl who can twirl me around her little finger when we kiss again
#13)
You're the spirit of Christmas
My star on the tree
You're the Easter Bunny
To Mommy and me
#14)
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
#15)
To look into her baby blue eyes
Right down to her dainty shoe size
I know when I see her
There's nothing left to say
#16)
Come on, woman
Gonna treat you right
Give you candy kisses
Every single night
#17)
Your lips are warm on Friday night
The next two days you hold me tight
But when it's done, you always run
And I'm alone
#18)
Presley records, hair spray and jelly beans
#19)
You know I used to sing
A tisket a tasket
A green and yellow basket
#20)
It wasn't on a Sunday
Monday and Tuesday went by
#21)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Whip it on me now
Feels so good
Now that you're home
#22)
I remember Sunday morning
I would meet him at the park
We'd walk together hand in hand
'Til it was almost dark
#23)
An old man would be so grateful
You could just let him sit and talk
But a young man is somewhere busy
Doing the camel walk
#24)
Ought to see her with her hair hung down
Ain't no finer girl in town
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
He's got jelly beans for Tommy
Colored eggs for sister Sue
There's an orchid for your mommy
#T1)
I'll be all in clover and when they look you over
I'll be the proudest fellow
#T2)

TOPIC: Rare Entries DJT01 email problems

From: Dan Tilque
One person had their entry for DJT01 rejected by the email system. I
don't know the reason, although it may have been the incorrect header
line I put on the first post. Later posts in the thread (the repost and
reminders) did not have that incorrect header, so you should have been
able to reply to them. Anyway, what worked in that case was that I sent
them an email and they replied to that.
If any one else had a similar problem, try replying to this thread and
I'll send an email you can reply to. Remember not to post any of your
answers to the newsgroups.
I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
