I'm going with: impossible. Well, for me, at least. Heck, I've even read 4 of the books on the list and couldn't come up with anything. In my submission, though, I tied it back to question 1.

I've only read three of the books (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Dracula, and Flowers for Algernon). They're all good books, but I could not think of any conceivable link between them.

Yeah, I'd read those three and Red Dragon and drew nothing but blanks.

So, I answered that they all contained Pritzker Prize winners ... which I had also never heard of.

Since it has nothing to do with the answer......

Atlanta Falcons tight end, Alge Crumpler (Algernon Crumpler) was named for that character in that book.......I suppose that's "Sports Trivia" sort of.....

Or bang our heads violently against a wall, which incidentally burns 100 calories an hour.

In which case, I should have lost about 419 pounds last week!

So for #7, I'd come up first with the fact that all of the books had been made into movies with a different name than the novel......and I noted that "The Orchid Thief" was not on the list (it was adapted into a movie, coincidentally called Adaptation.) (By the way, I thought it was a really good and interesting book). BUT, I also thought all of the books had been made into more than one movie....so, I wasn't sure whether that was part of the answer or not.....

Gooooooooooooood question.

This week's #7 seems no better. I can't think of what a crappy show like Emerald Point NAS has done twice that could also apply to Law and Order.

Grrrrrr ....

Neither can I...I've only seen one of the shows listed.

For the first time since I started playing this game.... Ken asked a #7 about something right up my alley. It's the first time I knew an answer immediately.

by **econgator** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 7:42 am

Actually, I think I have found the link. The harder part looks to be to actually find a show that fits it.

If it is inappropriate to say this, please forgive me... I don't think it's a hint or anything.... but I do believe, depending upon how you interpret what is being asked, that there's more than one "right" answer to the question.

True. Ken doesn't used the dreaded "and no other" qualifier for this question.

If there's a second qualifying answer, I'd be excited to learn about it, since I can't think of one.

I'll PM you what I submitted.

I put it in my answer, but I'll PM you as well...

Cannon, after seeing your answers every other week, I find that incredibly hard to believe.

Maybe I didn't say that the right way.... it's the first #7 I knew right away. For most of the others, I've had an idea or had to think about it a few minutes, a few hours or, sometimes, a few days.
