kokopelli Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Don't leave your entry to the very last minute in case you find your internet connection is down - or there is such a flood of entries this site's bandwidth can't cope . Wise word indeed! Five minutes after my recent post above my trusted WiFi connection did go down. This never happens but it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fountainhall Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I reckon Khun thaiworthy is madly waving his magic wand to make funny things happen. He must have already spent a fortune on his research and maybe needs a little bit of help from his other powers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thaiworthy Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 When I said it would take 2 1/2 days of research, I wasn't kidding. Working on the quiz only took 1 hour. I spent the other 59 hours conjuring up ways to keep to Khun Pelli from winning. Plan B: turning the champagne into vinegar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokopelli Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Turning champagne into vinegar should be easy; many people couldn't tell the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fountainhall Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 In which case I think I am tempted to change the First Prize to a bottle of Charles Heidsieck Vintage 1990. It was fantastic ten years ago, but a bottle I started to drink a year ago had obviously been subjected to Khun thaiworthy's spells. It ended up going down the drain. I keep its companion bottle in case I am with someone who really does not know the difference Working on the quiz only took 1 hour See, I told you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyOz Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Well, I have all of them answered to the best of my ability (not great ability). Very hard. Now, strategy. Should I put the answers now and if lucky be the first to post or should I wait till last minute so no one can take my answers? Lastly, letter i WTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fountainhall Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 On the basis that there is no prize for being first, there is no need to post till nearer the deadline - provided your internet connection does not go down! As for "i", I assume you mean Question I. Hehe. All will be revealed in less than 12 hours. All I suggest is read the question carefully and maybe think a little outside the box.

Guest fountainhall Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 1) I JUST RECEIVED AN ENTRY BY PM. PLEASE REMEMBER THE RULES STATE THAT ENTRIES MUST BE MADE ON THIS THREAD. BUT THIS ENTRY PUTS ME IN A BIT OF DIFFICULTY BECAUSE THE MEMBER JOINED ONLY A FEW DAYS AGO (AND HAS MADE SEVERAL POSTS SINCE THEN) AND I SUSPECT HE SKIMMED QUICKLY THROUGH THE RULES. I HAVE SENT HIM A PM IN THE HOPE THAT HE RECEIVES IT BEFORE THE DEADLINE AND POSTS HIS ENTRY HERE. IF NOT, THEN LET'S SEE HOW THE RESULTS PAN OUT. 2) AND I JUST GOT ANOTHER PM FROM A MEMBER WHO IS CONCERNED THAT ONCE ENTRIES ARE POSTED, AN ENTRANT COULD USE THE EDIT BUTTON AFTER SEEING THE ENTRIES OF OTHER MEMBERS. TO THIS I CAN ONLY SAY - I WILL BE GLUED TO THE COMPUTER SCREEN FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS AND BELIEVE I WILL BE ABLE TO DETECT ANYONE WHO CHANGES AN ENTRY. I HAVE AN EXCEL FORM READY AND IT TAKES LESS THAN 30 SECONDS TO ENTER ANSWERS AND GET EACH ENTRANT'S TALLY. OF COURSE I CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT ENTRANTS WHO CHANGE THEIR ANSWERS AFTER SEEING AN ENTRY POSTED BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY POST THEIRS! BUT THIS IS NOTHING NEW AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN OBVIOUS TO ALL WHEN THE COMPETITION WAS ANNOUNCED. GOOD LUCK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyOz Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 To all this FH, I can only say that I have every answer and I am 100 percent certain they are all correct (or as certain as I am that I am gay). Therefore, there is not need for anyone else to post. I suggest everyone should just go out and have a drink in a bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fountainhall Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 In that case, dear Michael, I suggest you delay your posting until 10:59:55 pm as others will no doubt crib your answers knowing how correct they are. Mind you, with Khun thaiworthy frantically waving his magic wand, I expect anything may happen. Hogwarts will be nothing to gaythailand.com tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyOz Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Oh, I am not worried about Khun TW. I sent a boy over to his house tonight for a bit of fun and he is supposed to arrive at 10:45 with nothing but some underwear on and a sign that says, "Invite Me In." :crazysmile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest abang Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Oops I did not know I have to post my suggested answers here... Got to type everything again... I probably will do it after my dinner appointment.. deadline is 11 pm Bangkok time, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyOz Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 ABang, if you are the one that sent to FH already, go to your PM's and copy and paste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fountainhall Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I am glad you got my pm. Yes, 11:00pm BKK time - midnight in Singapore which is where I think you are. Click and copy will be quickest rather than retyping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fountainhall Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 he is supposed to arrive at 10:45 with nothing but some underwear on and a sign that says, "Invite Me In." And I thought you were my friend!!! If you had just sent him over to me, there is no way I could be checking the entries as they come in - and so you could have cheated to your heart's content!

If you had just sent him over to me, there is no way I could be checking the entries as they come in - and so you could have cheated to your heart's content! I'll remember that for next year!

kokopelli Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Rest assured Michael; I will not crib your answers or anyone else so post now! However last year I was the last to post and only because I became aware of the contest a few hours in advance. I don't want that dubious distinction this year.

Guest fountainhall Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 One last reminder: please be very careful when you type in your entry and double check it before you post, as editing a post with an entry will not permitted. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokopelli Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Rather than disappoint Kuhn Fountainhall who put so much effort into developing this contest I decided to make an entry. In the beginning I only knew the answer to one question so, for the rest, I followed the maxim of my naval ancestor, Captain Cookopelli, to proceed By Guess & By God, although my answers are more by guess than by divine inspiration. A-4 B-3 C-2 D-5 E-3 F- Caffe Florian G 42nd Street H-5 I- Greta Garbo J-5 K-5 L- Scientology M-4 N-4 O-1 P- Rolling Stones Q- Hyatt R-2 S- And the Band Played On T-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fountainhall Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Thanks Khun Koko for entering and being the first. I can not give you an indication of how you fared, but you'll only have to wait another 40 minutes or so - assuming there is going to be a few more entries at the very last minute.

Guest abang Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Saturday 15th Dec 2012. It is 11.33 pm here in Singapore. I just returned from a horrible blind date. So I need my beauty sleep now. So FH, let me submit my wild guesses: A-4 B-5 C-2 D-4 E-4 F-Caffe Florian G-42nd Street H-4 I-Greta Garbo J-5 K-5 L-Left-hand people M-4 N-1 O-1 P-Susan Boyle Q-Hyatt (the hotel) R-2 S-And the band played on by Randy Shilts T-4 Wish me good luck...
