Let's play Things in Common

[Lord T Hawkeye]

Time for a little quiz! The rules are simple. Three things are listed, the question is "What do they have in common?"

For example.

Cue - pocket - table

The answer would be that they are all from the game billiards.


Try these ones.

1. fall - tower - slide

2. Catwoman - Indiana Jones - Zorro

3. radar - scuba - laser

4. fire - army - leaf cutter

5. Mr Peanut - The Penguin - Colonel Klink

6. tug o war - rowing - backstroke

7. spider - scorpion - wood tick

8. bag - blast - castle

9. Superior - Erie - Huron

10. Defensor - Computron - Menasor

*correction, middle one of 10 is supposed to be Computron

Nope.
