Big Charlies Trivia Corner

[BIGC]

Coach's pay it forward giveaway thread has given me a couple fun ideas.

I am going to run a trivia game and I will give prizes at certain point scores... First up is a set of AK47 dual mag pouches that are long enough to fit the 40rd mags they will be awarded at 5pts. You will get 1 pt for each question correctly answered and I will keep an excel list of the scores..


1st question for 1pt. Name the author of the quote:

If thou thinkest twice, before thou speakest once, thou wilt speak twice the better for it..

Guessing Ben Franklin.

1pt for Gemini

[BIGC]

2 1pt questions:

In what year did Case XX switch the tang stamp to a "Dot" system to date the knife? and how many dots were on the knife?

[GeminiXD9]

1978 and 2 dots

[BIGC]

1978 and 2 dots

good try but no......

[BIGC]

1970. That i am pretty sure of. No clue on number of dots

Correct, and I'll give you the other half it is 10 dots they subtract 1 dot for each year after....


Coach gets 1 out of a possible 2 points.

[BIGC]

All right, another multi pointer:

Fill in the blanks, 1pt for each, and then an extra point if you can name the singer:

In _ _ _ _ we took a little trip
Along with Colonel _ _ _ _ _ _ _ down the mighty Mississip.
We took a little _ _ _ _ _ and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans.
