Trivia question about my neighborhood park...

Trivia question about my neighborhood park...

Postby ArtVark » Mon Sep 18, 2006 2:28 am

What four names appear on the jerseys hanging on the wall of the Pacific Palisades Recreation Center Gym?

I know that this question is tough, so I made this a multiple choice question (in hints below).

A. John Wooden, Walt Hazard, Jim Harrick, Ben Howland
B. Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley
C. Kiki Vandewege, Larry Farmer, Anne Meyers, Gail Goodrich
D. Vicky Baum, Chris Isherwood, Thomas Mann, Aldous Huxley

What brand of mayonnaise is in my refrigerator right now? I know it's a tough one, especially if you don't have access to my fridge, but the answer's below.

Trick question! It's Miracle Whip.

well.. D is wrong for sure, B is bait, so A or C.
Since you are so fond of this gym and its trivia, when were each of these jerseys put up (don't go back and look) I will make it multiple choice:

A) sometime last week
B) sometime tomorrow
C) Sometime after the fall of Adam
D) On a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, respectively

Might sound silly, but I'll guess answer D. I couldn't find anything online, which is kind of surprising, but I know at least three of those folks had associations with the Palisades.

A B and C were all bait.

The answer is D.

There is a description of the jerseys in the first paragraph of this page.

Good guess. I still can't find an Aldous Huxley trading card.
