Or maybe I'll just declare Eduardo the winner.
He's the one who did all the work. Hats off to John for the tricky one.

Hey. It's gone all quiet in here. Is that tumbleweed I can see blowing across the forum?

I certainly think Eduardo deserves to win this one.
26 Apr 2003 — 2:06pm
Ok then, that settles it. Eduardo's the winner.

So is eduardo going to continue with the quiz??
9 May 2003 — 6:57am
I don't know, Hector. Am I allowed to do it? ;-)
9 May 2003 — 8:04am
Go for it.
9 May 2003 — 8:29am
Ok then.
There's an Emigre typeface which *name* makes reference to a
famous book written by Aldous Huxley. What's the name of that
typeface? And what's the name of the book?
9 May 2003 — 9:57am
Citizen, Brave New World
(?)
9 May 2003 — 10:53am
That's the right book, but the typeface is wrong.
I don't think the word "citizen" is such a reference
for this book either.
If you know which is the longest river in Africa,
you'll probably figure out the answer to this quiz.
;-)
9 May 2003 — 12:08pm
well, I'm not sure what the Huxley reference is, but I
believe Tarzan operated near the Nile... Tarzana?
9 May 2003 — 12:32pm
Not Tarzana, sorry. Think about "the greatest
moralizing and socializing force of all time."
Hope this will help you! =D
9 May 2003 — 2:04pm
If you have the book around, check chapter 2 please. ;-)

I hate to answer this now because I don't have a
question of my own and I'm on my way out of the
office. if anyone wants to take my trivia spot, please
help yourself. (assuming I've got the answer....)

Yep!
9 May 2003 — 2:40pm
You got it now, plainclothes! Congrats! ;-)
Now, since you allowed that, I think that's fair
to let Bj ask our next question.
9 May 2003 — 2:46pm
Eduardo - Sorry, I don't have anything
really good.
I was saying, Yep, as in
Yeah, that's right, PC got it.
but thanks...

I know what you meant, Bj. ;-)
And I'm going offline soon, so I'll leave this
quiz in hands of our dear Quizmaster.
Have a nice weekend, folks!
9 May 2003 — 3:04pm
I'll take that back. I do have a question.
If that's okay with the Quizmaster.
I'll wait the standard hour.
