See if there is interest for this.

1. Each day I will post 10 questions, at random times of the day.
2. Each Quiz runs exactly 24 hours.
3. The first person that has all 10 questions right, wins. Or if no one has all questions right, the best one wins.
4. You can only post answers ONCE for the same quiz.
5. No cash involved. Just glory. :)

And semantically speaking... there was never a stipulation specifically stating you must fold the paper in different directions for it to qualify :)

*confused about something*

88 is Two Fat Ladies in Bingo...

I thought bingo cards only went up to 75. Am I missing something?

*confused about two fat ladies period*

I've been to bingo, there's a lot more than two. And they all have those troll dolls.

Man aren't bingo daubers like the most fun thing ever though?? :)
