Science and Nature: The atomic weight of arsenic?*75
It's 74.92. Stupid to ask for a specific weight if the answer is rounded.

I didn't have any problems answering this question. Although, the extra - in the clue could potentially make guessing more difficult. Yeah, I got that part. It was just grouped with the other questions below it. I didn't mention them because they were wrong, but because it's better to have the words spelled out rather than have a huge amount of spam from people trying to guess what number -- is. "Mythology & Religions: Basque: Personification of thunder in Basque mythology, he is often merged with Maju Mari's wife?*f**k if I remember" Basque mythology. Plus, what kind of retard ends that sentence with a question? "Only ---------- of the population are lefties*7%" Seven percent?

Ok guys. Took care of all the ones I saw as of my last post. Removed or altered the number answers I saw listed (7% is now seven, with percent in the question instead of the answer), etc. The John in any question involving Woodrow Wilson (two instances of that) is now the Pope, as it should be. The arsenic question, Comp, I couldn't find, which leads me to believe I may have removed that one during my first round of editing a few months ago. It might have been one of the last edits I made that chalupa included. I searched by arsenic, and by 75, and neither turned up that question, so here's hoping it's gone.
I also checked, using search, for the words "Heraldry" and "Basque/Celtic" and other myth types. None of those produce a hit, so with any luck (and check after the next update), all of those questions should disappear at the end of the month when I send chalupa the file.
I changed "auto" in that one question to automobile racing, 19 to nineteen in the cereal question, and I removed an irrelevant chunk of that nematode question, so it should fit now.
Last, but not least Gnome, I can't decide how to deal with the computer game question, so I leave that to you. Suggest to me how you'd like it changed and I'll try and run with it. Keep going!

Long Poast
"Who directed interiors, manhattan, shadows and fog.*allen" Woody Allen
"The most abundant metal in the earths crust is___*aluminium" British
"Boot and shoemakers are often commonly called 'cobblers'... known as 'cordwainers.' this term has its a*cordovan" Too long
"An electrical Change in the membeance of a polysynaptic neuron...more likely for a post*excitatory postsynaptic potential" Yeah. Long.
"Philip Gilbert Hamerton, English art writer and lanscape painter... have the rare grace of never s*word too much"
"Actor mel gibson was born in which contry.*us" There's United States, America, United States of America, and even just usa. Isn't "us" just a little to little even though I don't really care about only using one.
"What Charles Manson follower attacked a fellow inmate with a hammer*lynette" Should it be Lynette Fromme? I hate only first names.
"Who is responsible for driving the English out of Scotland in 1297*William"
"The most populous city in north America*mexico" New York can get away with not always saying city, not Mexico City.
"Porky Pig had a girlfriend named ______*pet" Actually Petunia Pig.

"How far can a large kangaroo, (I.e. a big red or grey) travel in one hop*25ft"

"On t.v's star trek, how often must mr. spock have sex? every __ years.*7"

Are you trying to break my fingers with corrections Gnomey? That's a ton, and I'll take care of 'em tomorrow when I get home from work. You might actually catch all the errors!

In 1584 John __________, born.*Hilarius
Should be Pope? I looked up "John Hilarius" and found nothing. Well, nothing of historical significance.
A member of the House of Wessex*Edwy
Should be "Edwyn"? I don't know my royal families all that well, but it seems to make more sense. Also, I personally think that the "A member of the House of _____" questions aren't very well written due to ambiguity, but maybe I'm missing some fundamental rule of royal families or something.
(sry for double post, the "modify" button isn't showing up for some reason.)

Just remove it. Also earch for the celtic ones too. I heard you were removing them, so I might as well have put my input on here as well.

In 1584 John __________, born.*Hilarius Should be Pope? I looked up "John Hilarius" and found nothing. Well, nothing of historical significance. Except Pope Hilarius was pope from 461 to 468.Moar! "There are more than 4.7 million ___ ___ attacks every year in the us*pet dog, most of these are against children" Answer what you ask! "The world's deepest lake*lake baikel" Baikal, of course. "In 1940 David carradine, actor (kung fu, __________), born*death race 200" It's 2000. "The winged hat by the ancient Greek god hermes (or, in roman mythology, mercury) was called a '_______.'*petasos" It's actually petasus."By what did orlin refer to the other members of his species*the others" I believe this is Stargate? Could we get a nice "Stargate:" in front of all of them, please? (I'm hoping when you search for this one, you'll find a big group of them that you can fix) "Leaders: 42nd u.s. president*William jefferson Clinton" For presidents, specifically, there's lots of different ways to give their names, but shouldn't we try to stick to the name they're most often called? But then, that's a mess. Because that would mean I'd have to look out for all the "Truman" and "Delano", too. "What is another name for the card game 'blackJack'*21" A lot of the number questions I'm not sure if they should be changed or not. I'm fine with this one changing, at least. "There are __ ____ on a pair of dice*42 dots" "You have 6 different objects, in how many ways can they be arranged*720" I'll assume that answer is right, because I'm lazy. "One of each roman numeral adds up to what*1666" At what point are numbers too big to be written out? "According to the New England Journal of Medecine, the most popular time for sex is*11pm" And what about times? Eleven pm isn't that great. Eleven oclock if it wasn't pm or am... But then 11:45 can't really be written out.

We need to make the Robert Peary (first man to reach the north pole) questions uniform. There are some with the answer "Robert Peary" There are some with the answer "Robert Edwin Peary" There are some with the answer "Sir Robert Peary" There are even some with the answer "Commander Robert Peary" A little uniformity would be wonderful
