So, to play, put these ocean liners in order of earliest launching:

Do I get anything for trying?

Best regards,
Cook

 

[Senan Molony]

Way to go Cookster!

Are you sitting comfortably? Stroke that beard a bit, that's right. Here we go, nice and easy for $100:

Who invented Morse Code?

A) Inspector Morse B) Guglielmo Marconi
B) Samuel Morse D) Thomas Andrews

 

[Pat Cook]

B. Samuel Morse. He was actually trying to find the Northwest passage but took a break for lunch. Then his coworker, named Watson, knocked on his door. And it sounded like 'dit dit dah dah dit dit..." Well, you get the idea.

Best regards,
Cook

 

[Senan Molony]

No need to work too hard for the early money, old son. Try this one for $200:

The Olympic's official yard number was:

A) 1,500 B) 400
C) 401 D) 90210

 

[Pat Cook]

The answer is (drumroll, please!)...

B. 400

Titanic's number was 401.

Man, I HOPE this is right! I should check before answering!

Best regards,
Cook

 

[Senan Molony]

You are correct!
I may have been trying to turf you out early for your "streak" on Inger's gameshow.

Okay, you have $200. Let's try to make that $400.

What did JJ Astor's initials stand for?

A) Joseph Bruce
B) Joshua Joseph
C) James John
D) John Jacob

OOOh, you look worried...

 

[Senan Molony]

By the way, you can't check. You're on your honour not to look at books or ET when answering questions. I know you know this... it will be important when we get up to the ice money.

 

[Kritina Johnston]

Can someone else besides The Duke of Cook answer this? If so, then the answer is John Jacob. If only Cook is allowed to answer, then I'm not here.

 

[Shane Kurup]

ok, fire away with more of those tantalizing, mind boggling questions!.................

 

[Senan Molony]

Oh dear. There used to be rules.

Here everybody - free money!

Just help yourselves.

 

[Bonnie-Lynn Nadzeika]

Okay, for the record, Samuel Morse did NOT invent Morse code. He just took credit for it. Visit
www.speedwell.org and learn for yourself.

[Pat Cook]

Well, then, WHO'S the guy who solves crimes on the A and E channel?

 

[Kritina Johnston]

I wonder if that guy who solves crimes could help me with a question that's been posed in the Milton Long thread...Or somebody else here, hopefully.

 

[Mike Herbold]

This chaos is your fault, Molony. You skipped the $300 question.
