Answers & Points Timeline Game 9, Thursday September 11

#1 Post by Here's Fanny! » Thu Sep 11, 2008 7:27 am

Today's Timeline is another new one for the month, a Reverse Triple Timeline! Don't freak out on me, you have all the information you need, it's just putting it in order that's going to be the trick.

Reverse Triple Timeline - September 11

"Seven Guys and a Girl"

Elizabeth Taylor has been married 8 times (as of today’s date). I’ve provided the husbands, years and length of marriage. Get the husband in the correct slot for 10 points and 5 points for the correct duration (3 points if you match it with the right guy but not the right year). (Note: The duration is not counting exact days, I just did a quick count on years, months and days as none of them are close enough for a day or two to matter.) You've also got 5 bogies to name for 5 points each, plus a 10 point bonus question!

Please answer by putting the name and LETTER of the duration pick after each year. Please pick your bogies the same way (duration by letter).

Total Points Possible: 155

1. 1950

2. 1952

3. 1957

4. 1959

5. 1964

6. 1975

7. 1976

8. 1991

Bonus: Who was the only husband that she did not divorce?

2. 1952 = Mike Todd = E

Montgomery Clift = Bogie
Mickey Rooney = Bogie
Jason Winters = Bogie

Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Mike Todd, died in a plane crash. I think (but I'm not sure) that it was doing press for Around the World in 80 Days on his plane, Lucky Liz. Evelyn Keyes had some interesting things to say about him in her autobio.
