//Edit: The poet who translated the poems is John Balaban.

Obviously that was too easy. Adriano is right. Except that I think there's a circumflex in Nôm. Interestingly, the lines in all but one of the poems in the book have the same number of characters per line. I believe it's something akin to the sonnet form in English.

Take it away.

Hm, yes... Andrea is right, there is a circumflex.
Since I'm not very good at formulating questions, Andrea can ask the next one.
Or does that go against the rules?

It's up to Nathan to declare the winner. Technically, Andrea is more correct, and Adriano has indicated that he would not object to her posing the next question, so I think Nathan would be justified in declaring Andrea the winner.

Let's say that if Andrea does not post a question within the next 12 hours, then Adriano will pose the next question.

The rules debate is disturbingly hilarious. I'm surprised the pop quiz question "What was the original version of 'Robert's Rules of Order' set in, and who was the book designer?" hasn't been posed yet.

John, you've just discovered the quickest way to thoroughly arouse my ire: flippantly accuse me of an error using a device such as [sic], when I am, in fact, correct.

i'm glad i re-read the rules b/c i just about to break rule #9.

what is the name of the movie with the opening film titles projected onto the body of a dancing woman?

if that's too easy here's a BONUS question: (speaking of cheshIRE; ) who stole the tarts?

now you'll have to forgive me if i am sleeping

Incidentally, though I have no idea what face it was printed in, Robert's Rules of Order was first printed here in Chicago at Griggs. So I'd say the compositors at Griggs did most of the "design." And, in blatant violation of Rule 12 (which probably doesn't matter since I doubt (hope) that we're starting a quiz within a quiz, I'm guessing Robert served in the Civil War. Which wasn't between Britain and the US, but since I grew up in Tennessee and we call Northerners "Yanks," maybe it's almost the same...

I think you're sorted out Andrea. I was just admitting to my guessing on the pop quiz within the pop quiz.

nice one rodolfo, i was thinking from russia with love but you win with goldfinger. i think however it was robert brownjohn and not maurice binder who did the titles for both those movies:

: )

i was thinking from russia with love but you win with
goldfinger.

Do I? I think not. I didn't remember that From Russia
with Love, an earlier film, used the same concept.
And actually, as I see in the nice link you've posted,
in Goldfinger - as opposed to FRWL - there were images
projected on the body, but the actual titles were not.
So I don't win, and the turn reverts to you, I think. ;)

BTW, sorry for the Binder/Brownjohn confusion.
Brownjohn was great.

so, whose turn is it anyway?

It seems that, since Andrea accepted my answer as correct,
and no one challenged me except myself, it is my turn anyway.
So. My online time will be short and fragmented so I'm posting
what I think (*) is an easy one.

(*) I don't find it very elegant when the quiz's poster says,
after someone answers it, "well that was too easy", as if
detracting from the winner's achievement. ;)

Question: What was the Greek epigraphic style with lines running
alternately from left to right and right to left called, and -
that's the important part - why was it called that way?

Good luck.

Oh man! I knew this one. You are too fast Nathan

That's CHESHIRE...
