June 2, 200520 yr Author Of course, it's that colonel famous for his secret blend of 11 herbs and spices... Colonel Sanders of KFC. A side note - Did you know that the Colonel's herbs and spices are actually salt, pepper and MSG? That doesn't make 11 in my book. I'm getting off topic. Here are the responses.

They were spamming and trolling, with 100 posts in 2 days, so I migrated. Ah abandoning that ship. Now I understand. Welcome over with the rest of them.

June 3, 200520 yr Author And as the results from the sixth question come in, it seems that Kalapse's early lead is waning... only four points separates him and second place! We also had a record 15 players in this round. The answer is Jail, with the cards and the Go To Jail space in the corner. In second, and receiving 25 points as a partial answer, is Illinois Ave., the most-landed-on property. Rounding out the top three is B&O Railroad. In 1,000,000,000 simulated rolls, over 60 million went to Jail, 32 million for Illinois, and 30 million for B&O. That said, here are the results!

DO NOT POST Question 07 Category: Logician's Nightmare #1 Point Value: 58 As it is known 2 multiplied by 2 produces the same result as 2 added to 2, or four. Can you think of another pair of numbers (a and B) which when multiplied together give the same result when they are added together? In other words, choose two numbers in which a+b = a*b. Note that the numbers may be different. And, of course, you are allowed to choose from the decimal numbers as well. Both numbers must be non-zero.

June 7, 200520 yr Author Sorry about being late... my computer is crazy... I am really thinking of ditching M$ for good... it even crashed my Linux partition. Thus, there will be no question today... the next one will be tomorrow. However, I do have the answers. For the three people that answered correctly, they all answered differently. There are an infinite number of answers, both positive and negative. The first two pairs are 3 and 1.5, followed by 5 and 1.25. In the negative, -1.0 and .5 work.
