Come one, come all, to this Carnival of Wonders! Do you think you can compete with the smartest minds of the faire? Then try your skills on a quiz that will make your head spin and your brain fume. But be warned: our questions are strange and our answers even stranger - so maybe a good lie takes you much further than a boring truth...


How it works

• A random question will be posted in this thread.
• You now have at least 24 hours to come up with a great answer. To clarify: Even if you happen to know the actual answer, creative wrong answers is what this stage is about. PM your answer to me.
• Once the time limit is over, all answers get posted, including the correct one.
• Now each visitor can vote once in this thread or by PM for the answer they think is true.
• You are not allowed to vote for your own submitted answer.
• However you can try to guess the right one even if you didn't submit an answer before.
• The right answer is worth 20 points
• You will also score 20 points for each person who falls for your bluff.

Current question open to guess
What happened to the mummy of Ramses II when it was sent to France in the mid-1970s?

1. He was issued his own passport for the flight.
2. He ended up on the wrong plane.
3. He got damaged, the museum officials tried to fix the damage, and ended up making it worse.
4. Since it is actually legal to marry a dead person in France, a secretary of the museum asked for permission to marry Ramses.
5. The mummy inadvertently got switched with that of Hatshepsut, but Cairo officials decided not to inform France to avoid the bureaucratic hassle of exchanging mummies.

While we're all waiting for the suspense to build up and answers to roll in behind the scenes, you're welcome to chat here. Grab a hammock, have some ice cream and enjoy this little retreat. Who knows how long it will stay quiet after all

[Tiva]

*pokes* Don't forget to get your permits Death.

[Death by Mirrors]

Thanks for the reminder ^^

Come one, come all - still approximately 12 more hours to come up with funny, strange, crazy or downright weird answers! What makes that postbox special?

[Death by Mirrors]

Alright, voting round has begun! Everyone is invited to guess what the right answer may be. Meanwhile, a new question awaits your funny, clever or downright weird bluffs - make up an answer and pm it to me. A gift... what could it be?

And what is so special about that postbox now?

[mdom]

Do we guess here or via PM, too?
Also, let me think of a good answer for the new question...

[Death by Mirrors]

I was thinking here in the thread (since that gives you an excuse to post, which in return gives you tickets), but I will also count PM guesses. The main reason I'm collecting answers by PM is so nobody is going to know who wrote what ^^

[mdom]

OOOH true.
We can come discuss afterwards, I guess xD

[Death by Mirrors]

That's right. Plus the recent question is going to change over time, so there's another incentive to check back. Also:

Gliding Mask!

What's this? Someone threw a Matinee Mysterious Mask in the air.

First person to quote it gets it for free.

Very tempted to be a butt and quote only 'it' xD

[Death by Mirrors]

Oh sweet temptation.

The mask has been caught, but there's still a few hours left for the rest of you to vote on the right answer and score some tickets. Or send me gifts. Er, I mean, suggestions for what the Russian gift might have been.

[Den]

Guess for the Post Office box: It's underwater.

[Death by Mirrors]

And that's correct! You guys sure know your mail.

Have some free tickets on me - sorry if they arrive wet, I was trying to send them right from Susami Bay. New question is up, and I've also changed the bluff points from 10 to 20. We got some nice answers there, so what do you think unites nations even better than a bottle of Vodka?

[Tiva]

Is it weird I think it is the reindeer? They are Native to Russia right?

[mdom]

No, they're native to Lapland!!!
(totally serious answer)
