[MonteGss]

AWESOME!! You've gotta be a Tower Junkie to get some of those! :)

[sarah]

Thanks Monte and thanks for the pm. :couple:

[Brice]

So, did he get them ALL right already? :lol:

[MonteGss]

I haven't given my answers yet Brice. :lol:
When I do, I will post them here, not in a PM. :)

[Brice]

Well, I figure you or Matthew are gonna' win any DT related quiz unless it's got questions like what color shirt was SK wearing when he wrote page 493 of such and such book. Hell, you might get that right too. :lol: It is eerie how much y'all remember from the books.

[MonteGss]

It was white and he had blue jeans on. :)

[Brice]

:lol: You're probably right.

[Daghain]

Argh, homework. :lol:

[Letti]

What a great quiz. I might give it a try a bit later but I guess I will be too slow.

[Woofer]

Should we post answers here or PM them? Seems PM would be better so that others could keep working (for fun).

[MonteGss]

I guess PM would be better if you aren't confident you can get them all correct. :P ;)

[Woofer]

Hehehe. No. ;)

I'll get them all correct, but maybe not as fast as you guys. I still have 8 that I have to confirm. :unsure:

[MonteGss]

Don't mind me, I like talking a little trash. :)
There is only one that I have no clue on but I won't find time to verify my others until this evening at the earliest.

[Storyslinger]

This is awesome, but there are two that have me completly stumped.

[sarah]

Woofer is closing in. Thanks for the pm!!!

[Woofer]

One question... killing... hurts us, Precious.

I'm just going back and forth looking for one answer that I am sure I have passed 50 times.
