QOD Monday week 3

#1 Post by ulysses5019 » Mon Oct 20, 2008 1:08 am

There are still four questions (M-Th) and a bonus on Friday. The point wagering is a bit different for the next two weeks. You must assign a point value of 2, 4, 6 or 8. I will explain the point scoring for Friday later.

Here is the topic tree (in order):

Geography
Movies
Literature
Music
US States


Today's question in geography:

The Bermuda Triangle is made up of three points. One of them is Bermuda. Name the other two points. One is a city and the other is an island. You must name both.

Good luck.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

Hey, who messed with the title under my avatar? I don't think I like it. Unless this is a new hazing ritual that everyone has to put up with, I think I'd rather opt out.

Crap, I forgot the points changed this week. Any chance that I can change my 7 to 8?

For 6 points, since I'm only reasonably sure....
Miami and Puerto Rico

I'll wager 6 points, because of the confusion to follow. You see, I thought the other two points were Miami and New York. They could be New York and one of the islands of the Bahamas, but which one? No, I'l go with Miami and Manhattan, final answer.

Luck???? In the Bermuda triangle????

Always thought the boundary was a bit sketchy depending on the source but I believe most say Miami and Puerto Rico which fits the clue. Don't care for a couple of the other topics so I will gamble 6 today.

Insert pithy comment here
The Bermuda Triangle is made up of three points. One of them is Bermuda. Name the other two points. One is a city and the other is an island. You must name both.

Miami and Puerto Rico, for 4 points (cuz I'm not positive about Miami....it might be Port Canaveral....).

OK, I need to read directions correctly. Could I change it to 4? if not, I'll take the lesser points for 2.
