Greetings housemates! In honor of 667's 12th anniversary, your first task will be to learn about the history of 667. This task will have you searching through the archives to find the answers to thirty questions. Ten each will be posted on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Any sharing of answers equals an immediate fail (we are watching you). Post the answers in your diary room by 11:59 pm site time on Thursday. The first ten: 1. Which 667er is this? 2. Who wrote an awful story concerning life aboard the Carmelita after Fernald and Fiona had stolen it from Count Olaf, Set before The End. I'll give you a clue, it wasn't!actually very Christmassy. 3. Which three Gothic Archies songs did BSam use for songfics back in January 2005? 4.Name two ingredients that were specifically not used in Sophies sandwich when she very almost won the menacing miscellaneous moderation position. 5. Who drew this picture, which 667er is it supposed to be and what was his comment to it? 6. Who wrote Dante and the Three Little Pigs? 7. Who is Colin and which 667er originally named him? 8. What does PJ say to the bike in PJ and the Bike? 9. In which edition of The 667er did all the columnists write parodies of themselves, and why? 10. In Betsy the Explorer, who was the backpack?

Just a small request...Linda, could you maybe post the next two sets of questions before you go to bed, as it works a little better for my timezone. If that's impossible/messes up the schedule it's fine, but it would be nice if the adjustment was possible.

Remember when 667 was big enough to have cliques that hardly ever interacted at all? *sigh* The good old days.

I'm posting the next set, not sure who will post the third yet. There will be 48 hours between when the third is posted and the answers are due.

one could argue that this task is unfairly more challenging for newer members. not that I would do that. but one could, if one so desired.

one could argue even further that the questions involving some of the the contestants themselves give these contestants an unfair advantage over the rest as well, like sophie (question 4) and pandora (question 17)

I actually think this is a great task, especially compared to last year. Sophie and Pandora don't have unfair advantages because the details are so specific, they're impossible for the individuals to remember. The wording of the questions is also quite kind too, really. Just a case of knowing where (and how) to look.
