wiki-illiam rules -- just to be clear
Jan. 10th, 2010 12:29 pm• give nice full answers -- and anecdotes about how you found them -- because they are more fun to read than the plain facts
• obviously googling is going to happen, esp.if you half-think you half-know the answer and it's driving you crazy -- but if you googled (A) say so; (B) leave others a reasonable* time to answer w/o googling; esp.(C) if/.when it looks like the question theme is emerging, which often allows previously opaque questions to be answered by those who earlier had no idea. Hints to others by those educated by Google are fine
• yes you can look ahead at future questions if you want (ie elsewhere on the internet)
• other fora are doing this quiz also, and will have found similar answers to ours -- THEY ARE ALL UNRELIABLE! More to the point (and more accurate) these fora often are not a very interesting source, even if accurate. Players here fumbling around -- the wisdom of the lj crowd -- is much more fun.
• Basically use good judgment!!
*reasonable will vary from day to day and question to question
