Jek if I was in Seattle I would have said Washington have a little state pride (especially if your state doesn’t deserve it like mine)

6 Arabica
7 graph paper
8 jek I see your strategy I have a monopoly board and lots of time just give me the word and I’ll finish up this one(MR would probably hit me for 1 point for each extra answer I might fall to second place)
April 24th, 2010 at 9:57 am
Sorry about #6 above Annon covered Arabica way back on the 5th comment
April 24th, 2010 at 9:58 am
Okay, I hope all of you are still tucked in your bunk beds, and, I can compile and post this comment before one of you slips another group of answers in….. Looks like it’s Robo, Jek, and Anon I have to deal with…. Let’s see what they brought with them:
1. Robo gets Two (2) Points for: Slush and Blowing Snow….. Jek picks-up Three (3) Points for: Cornice Snow (Corn Snow), Powder Snow (Powder Red Snow), and Snow Showers……
2. Jek, PDB alerted me that, in fact, he was preparing extradition papers at this very moment for Robo to be removed from Oklahoma and sent to Leesville, Louisiana to stand trail for “Crimes against the Confederacy”…..
3. Jek finishes out #3 for One (1) Point with: New Hampshire…..
4. Robo’s Guizing, but, alas gets none right – No Points…. Jek found one of Snoopy’s Siblings for One (1) Point – Spike…..
5. Jek gets Three (3) Points for: Puffer Snake (Puff Adler), Garter Snake, and Boa Constrictor….. I am also giving Anon One (1) Point for Puff Adler as he precisely named it correcting Jek….. The reason being if I would have graded each reply as they came in, I would have given Jek the Point and posted the correct answer, and Anon couldn’t have corrected Jek…..
6. Jek gets Three (3) Points for: French Roast, Kona, and Kenyan…..
7. Robo picks-up Two (2) Points for Abacus and Ruler….. Sorry Jek and Anon, but No Points……
8. Jek gets credit for Five (5) Points, but, pulls a sneak attack on the other players by naming 20 answers….. I may have to add a rule about “Over Answering”…. Jek, I wouldn’t answer my door or phone for a couple of days if I were you….. The answers are: Baltic, Mediterranean, Reading RR, B&O RR, Chance, Water Works, St. Charles Place, St. James Place, Luxury, Tennessee, Marvin Gardens, Pennsylvania, Shortline RR, Vermont, Atlantic, New York, Community Chest, Income Tax, Kentucky, and Oriental…..

Robo – That’s TWICE with the comments while I was updating….. I guess I will have to make a comment suspending any comments for 1 hour while I compile things – Then if any does it will cost them points….. Robo, if you have any Points on Comment #16, they will be added with the next update – Urg-g-g-h!…..
April 24th, 2010 at 10:19 am
Sorry MR I figured you would do the up date earlier.
No big deal I’ll just keep on guesing
1 soft, powder, blue
April 24th, 2010 at 11:28 am
MR,
Better go back to #5 and check my answers Kenyan and kona for coffee which I believe was well ahead of that usurper Jek.
April 24th, 2010 at 6:39 pm
Latest update and error corrections (on my part)…… A few Points for Robo and Anon….. Here they are:
1. Sorry Robo, Jek got the Powder one, and, the rest you Guized are not on the list.
6. Sorry ’bout that, Anon, I don’t know how I missed those on your #5 comment – Kenyan was the first one you listed and Kona was right next to Java, which I gave you credit for…… In all fairness, I don’t feel right by taking the Two (2) Points from Jek, so I will let him keep them, But, I will give you an extra one – Total of Three (3) Points….. Hope that makes up for the error, if not, I am the Quiz-O-Master (Ha!)……
7. Robo gets One (1) Point for Graph Paper (Graph)……..
Points Update: 1st place: Robo 69 Points, 2nd Place: Jek 42 Points, 3rd Place: Anon 34 Points, 4th Place: Zook 32, 5th Place: HuskySooner 22 Points……
1. 16 remaining 2. Completed 3. Completed 4. 6 remaining 5. 28 remaining 6. 26 remaining 7. 6 remaining 8. 11 remaining
April 24th, 2010 at 6:58 pm
Update: The message below refers to MR’s previous comment placeholder text that said “Don’t post any answers while this text is here” or something to that effect.
Why not? Actually, MR, you being ALL POWERFUL, can backdate your comment so that it goes where it was intended. In fact, you have figured our another way to accomplish the same thing: Just post a placeholder first and then edit it. Brilliant. With that solution, you need not hold up further answers.
BTW, sorry Anon for duping you. It is easier for me to only read the MR comments with the accepted answers. I correspondingly passed on his mistake.
April 24th, 2010 at 7:04 pm
Righty-O, Mr. Jek…… It’s done and done…… In the future I’ll just use the placeholder to state that I’m updating to that point in time…..
I am BRILLIANT – Aren’t I?…. eh?…..

Update time again….. Looks as if Jek is attempting to Win and make enemies at the same time by “Over-Answering”….. This may be costly to him in future “Phases”, but, for this one, it’s not against the rules…. Let’s see what Jek and Robo did:
5. Jek uses the “Over-Answering” tactic by naming 12 correct answers out of his EXTENSIVE Guizer list….. Jek only gets credit for Seven (7) Points because he already had 3 pts. on #5, and, the MAX is 10…. Here’s his 12 answers: Brown Snake, Black-headed (Black-Banded), Water Snake, Corn Snake, Hognose Snake, Ground Snake, Long-Nosed, Black-Hooded (Black), Gray (Gray Banded King), Pine Snake, Worm Snake, and Cottonmouth……
6. Robo misses with Loki Uowow – No Points….. Sorry, Jek, but Ethiopian and Sumatran are NOT on my list…..
7. Sorry, Robo, but there are no more tables on the list, and your other Guizes don’t appear either – No Points…..
8. Jek gets No Points, but, finishes out #8 with all the remaining spaces on Monopoly…… I may have to poll all the Quizzees before “Phase C” about “Over-Answering” – BUT, in the end, it will be the Quiz-O-Master’s decision…..
Hint: All of these list suffer from some of the items being very “General” in content, while others in the same list are very “Specific”, so, you may have a Specific answer along with one or two General answers derived from the Specific one – Why, I don’t know, but, it’s the answers I’m using….
Points Update: 1st place: Robo 69 Points, 2nd Place: Jek 49 Points, 3rd Place: Anon 34 Points, 4th Place: Zook 32, 5th Place: HuskySooner 22 Points……

I think I’m going to include a few Hints in with the scoring since I think everyone’s entered the Guizering (Guessing) stage….. Let’s see what’s goin’ on in the Answer Department:
1. Jek gets Three (3) Points with: Flurry (Snow Flurries), Snowpack (Wind Pack), and Snowstorm (I thought this would be the most obvious answer)…… Robo picks-up One (1) Point with Frost (Frost Snow)….. There are some very obvious ones left, like 1 dealing with the Seasons, 1 with chemicals, 1 against structures, 1 with a little melting on the top, etc…..
4. Here’s the Hints: Starts with “A”, Ends with “Y” – 4 Letters: Starts with “B”, Ends with “E” – 5 Letters: Starts with “M”, Ends with “S” – 7 Letters: Starts with “M”, Ends with “Y” – 5 Letters: Starts with “O”, Ends with “F” – 4 Letters: Starts with “R”, Ends with “R” – 5 Letters…….
5. Sorry, Anon, but, both of the answers you gave have already been given – No Points….. Hints: 2 main types of Snakes, more than 1 “Viper”, more than 1 “Python”, more than 1 “Long-Nosed”, and 1 big snake correct answer that can be split into 2 answers…..
6. Sorry, Jek, neither are on the list – No Points…. Hints: There are more “Roasts”, more named after countries and continents, and, some processes…..
7. Sorry, Zook, none are on the list, but, I’m going to give One (1) Point for the pencil joke…… Since I only recognize one of the remaining answers, here are the hints: Starts with “G”, Ends with “E” – 9 Letters: Starts with “H”, Ends with “M” – 9 Letters: Starts with “Q”, Ends with “E” – 9 Letters: Starts with “S”, Ends with “E” – 5 Letters: Starts with “T”, Ends with “L” – 7 Letters: Last one: 2 words – First Word starts with “V”, Ends with “N” – 4 Letters, and the Second Word starts with “D”, Ends with “M” – 7 Letters…….

You’ve seen Venn diagrams: usually three intersecting circles that depict overlapping attributes. (Like strange, hairy, and male, with the middle labeled “Jek”.) You can make Venn diagrams for any number of attributes—and I think all the diagrams are embeddable in the plane.
Histograms show the frequency something occurs. E.g., you could take the possible outcomes of a roll of two dice, and plot their frequencies over 100 rolls.
Graticules… as far as I know, these are the lines of latitude and longitude on a map. I’m a little surprised they’re on your list unless they mean something more general.

This looks like a short update…….
1. Robo has put his Snow/Ice Guizers in Overdrive, unfortunately, they are all misses….. You need to review the clues I gave – Here’s one new clue: One of the answers occurs in Chicago a lot, and, probably in Seattle…… Think on it…..

Hey MR what are the prizes going to be. Maybe if you make it something good, my competition will try harder to knock me out of first place.

As much as I hate pointing out a mistake that favors Robo, I must. MR, Robo answered Italian Roast in Comment #53.
May 1st, 2010 at 12:30 pm
When you’re right, you’re right, Jek, apparently I was trying to get the Phase “B” closed out and quickly perused Robo’s EXTENSIVE list of Coffees too quickly….. The Quiz-O-Master hereby gives Robo his earned One (1) Point and also extends One (1) Point to Jek for bringing it to the Quiz-O-Masters attention (It might have been more, Jek-O, if you would have contacted me secretly, instead of publicly exposing my ineptitude – PD Bob is rolling on the floor, calling me a Guizer-O-Matic)…. Happy, Mr. Jek?….
NEW Points Update: 1st place: Robo 84 Points, 2nd Place: Jek 55 Points, 3rd Place: Zook 45 Points, 4th Place: Anon 34 Points, 5th Place: HuskySooner 22 Points……
