Title: Let's play Things in Common
Post by: Lord T Hawkeye on September 11, 2011, 10:22:22 PM
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

6. They all require leaning back
7. They're all arachnids

Part of me really wants to guess that these are abbreviations for units of measurement, like gigameter, hectameter, centimeter, and so on.

Nope.

(Although there are people petitioning the ISU to make them metric prefixes. I don't know how much of a hint that is...)
