+Kitty Hawk Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Cool. Now, could you just list the the denominations of money in Monopoly and how many of each you receive right at the beginning. * Adrian * I thought this was a great question. As I type it I wonder if it has changed with all these different types of Monopoly available, so what I am after is the traditional game, the one with Old Kent Road, £60 and Mayfair £400.
+sTeamTraen Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Now, could you just list the the denominations of money in Monopoly and how many of each you receive right at the beginning. * I memorised this 35 years ago: 500 x 2 100 x 4 50 x 1 20 x 1 10 x 2 5 x 1 1 x 5 Total 1500

+sTeamTraen Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 (edited) Oh yes I nearly forgot 15p Correct... these days you can't get a single cigarette for that, I believe. Confirmation here. Congrats also to DogdyDaveD who mailed me the reply because he didn't have write access to the forum (not sure how that can happen!), but I didn't check my mails until two minutes ago, so the Pig has it.

+Kitty Hawk Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 (edited) Blush. Right - you are walking home from the pub one night and there is a very bright white planet in the sky. You check your watch, the sun set 4 hours ago. Which planet is it? BIT nervous about this question, we'll see how it goes. Edited June 13, 2006 by Kitty Hawk
+Kitty Hawk Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 No - I learnt this recently - Venus sets about 3 hours after the sun, so the planet I've always thought was Venus turned out to be...
+The Golem Posted June 13, 2006 Author Posted June 13, 2006 Staying with Jupiter, what was the name of the comet that collided with the giant planet in 1994?
+The Forester Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 No - I learnt this recently - Venus sets about 3 hours after the sun, so the planet I've always thought was Venus turned out to be... The easy way to identify which is which is to remember that Venus is between us and the Sun, whereas Jupiter is outside our orbit. Therefore, look in the direction of the sun's position below the horizon (it approaches due North at 15° per hour) and if the bright planet you're trying to identify is within your field of view then it must be Venus and not Jupiter. Jupiter will be behind you.
+Kitty Hawk Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 mumberk 1994? stiplock 1977? Lychee 1989? One of those has to be right!
+Kitty Hawk Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 Now I've googled it's easy. I wouldn't have remembered though.
+Jango & Boba Fett Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 (edited) mumberk 1994? stiplock 1977? Lychee 1989? One of those has to be right! Nope but I believe Shoemaker-Levy 9 would be. The Shoemaker bit was easy as they were a very famous couple (Eugene is now dead but Corolyn lives on) and was able to drag the Levy bit out of deep memory (if I'm right he's a prolific amateur comet hunter) but the 9 took a visit to the pile of national Geographics in the family reading room.
