...and we had:
|
...conspired with Ginger before the Mini to make up a fun and games puzzler--it consisted of five photos of Huntington with associated questions, and was designed to stimulate both memory and nostalgia...
...Ginger blew up the pics and pasted them to a board, and as well made up response sheets for any teams that formed to write their answers on...a number of people played as teams...
But I didn't score them in Florida...so your first puzzle is...Why Not?? Is it because:
a) I didn't get all the answer sheets?
b) I forgot to bring the answers?
c) I was having too much fun and didn't bother?
d) All of the above?
Soooo, decided to put the quiz with answers
up here, and everybody can play ...
