Heads Up Folks! Starting on April 1st, no fooling ;D, I will be doing my trivia contest again. I just spoke with the Chancellors, Terri and Noah, and they have given it a big yeehah! This year will have all new questions, a few new subjects, and lots of the old favorites like the extreme close ups of our favorite toys.

There will be special "pop quizes" only on the Facebook page for the ranch so if you haven't done that yet best get cracking!

The Rules! You got to have a few!
1. Have Fun! 2. First correct response gets the points but if you believe you have an answer that is also correct give me a shout. We have turned a few nuggets of knowledge up over the past few years. 3. Multiple Choice Questions can only be given one answer per rancher. The idea is to get multiple ranchers involved. So even if you know all of them please only answer one. 4. Keep your answers clean! Some of my questions are phrased to seem that the answer would be naughty but its all in good fun. 5. There will be two semesters of between 36 and 60 questions each. Winners will be declared for each semester and then total points from both will decide the Valedictorian. Prizes are awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd each semester and then the overall winner gets a prize and a traveling trophy. 6. Have Fun! 7. Not really a rule but remember that the subject often provides a clue as to the answer. Also the same question can be used in different subjects but have totally different answers in each.
Prizes will be purchased from our fellow ranchers Noah, Terri, and Scott S. so you know these are worth playing for! A special thanks once again to Noah and Terri for allowing me to do this.

Engineering 101: How much did the Golden Spike weigh?
Anthropology 311: What did it mean when an Indian pot had a hole in the bottom?
Television 101: Where did Paladin live?
Music 214: Who "felt a blast that stunned my wrist"?

This is a test! It is only a test! If this had been an actual picture it would have something to do with the old west. This is just old Sumps! If this works Thank You Nance! Attachments:
