pacman Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Honourable? Now what have I done? I just looked up the answer & I am sorry for guessing. I would have got the first name eventually. I wouldn't have got the number. It's a worthy question route67, keep it going till someone gets it. Quote Link to comment

pacman Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 which sporting contest is sometimes decided by the Duckworth-Lewis method? I know this, it comes up a few times every year but despite trying to brain storm the answer, I can't think of it. I asked someone who knew it immediately. I hate being so limited, I have to turn it over to the next person. Quote Link to comment
pacman Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 That's what I was alluding to - ".....hate being so limited, turn it over to the next....... " For those who know nothing about cricket, when a one day game (what is referred to as a Limited Over game of either 50 or 20 overs) is shortened by rain, the required number of runs to win is calculated by the Duckworth-Lewis method.

Snick Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Ancient Israel had a caste system (pre 135 A.D.) , what were the 3 castes ? Bonus points, what happened in 135 A.D. ? The castes were Cohen, Levi and Israel. Roughly corresponding to Priest, assistant to priests and the common folk. In 135 AD the Romans put down a Jewish revolt and kicked all the Jews out of the country, renaming it Syria Palaestina Quote Link to comment

I really doubt it BB Fidelity has a big mutual fund the Fidelity Magellan fund and it occured to me that circumnavigating is a really big deal and maybe that's why the fund was named after him.
