Optimist on the run

Sig test

As the original thread has been locked without a reponse to the question I posed in it, I will repost it here: How will the new event guidelines affect CITOs with an attached event? The reason for asking is that some cachers may want to get a certain number of cache types in a day, for challenges, badgegen or similar reasons. This is made easier by attending both a CITO and a nearby event.

How will this idea affect CITOs with an attached event? Also I note that The StowMartians' question about Mega events has not been answered.

A ding for MartyBartfast's ding!

What name was shared by six Chinese emperors of the Shang dynasty between approximately 1600 and 1100 BC? (Hint: it gets mentioned quite often in this forum)

I think it's Damascus.

Ding to Pajaholic. There are several examples: the one I was thinking of was cleave, meaning to split or to join (in marriage).

Thanks. The comment about flammable/inflamable made me think of a related question: give me a word in English that has two completely opposite definitions.

I think adders used to be called nadders, and "a nadder" became "an adder". Conversely "an ickname" became "a nickname". The same presumably occurred with ewts and naprons.

Edmund Hillary? I believe he was part of a polar expedition after he conquered Everest, but I don't know if it was an attempt to cross the continent.

Ding to Martin and Linda.

Time for a hint perhaps: a household item, often but not always found in the kitchen.

A question from Mogmother: What may be referred to as a maiden or a winterdyke, depending on where you live?

On behalf of Mogmother: Sky sails.

Probably not Cutty Sark then, unless your Grandparents had some very unusual ideas in child naming :-)

I'll give the ding to MartyBartfast. Both Basil Fawlty and Siegfried Farnon were based on real characters called Donald Sinclair. Over to you...

Sorry - good guess but wrong. Closer, but I need more information.

Ok, what connects Basil Fawlty (hotelier from Fawlty Towers) and Siegfried Farnon (James Herriot's boss and later partner in the All Creatures Great and Small series)?

Something is nagging at the back of my mind that Elvis Presley had a twin. Norris McWhirter had a twin brother, Ross, who was murdered by the IRA. I've never heard of the Rosie from the Dolly Sisters, but I'll guess she had a twin too.

As a guess, are they the winning answers to some quiz?

A definitely deserved ding for Dodgydaved!

Ok - moving away from Olympics, but staying with a Greek theme: Today is Pi Day (in American mm.dd.yy format) - i.e. 3.14 In the Greek Alphabet pi is the 16th letter. Which letters fall either side of it?

Sorry, been too busy to check this forum in the last couple of days. Will post a new question tonight.

I thought that one of Sir Steve Redgrave's streak of five was the only gold we won that year. If that's the case I'll guess 1992, which I think was Barcelona.
