Ten each will be posted on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Any sharing of answers equals an immediate fail (we are watching you).

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.

I hate that 667 proboards won't let itself show up on Google results

[Deleted]

i thought i might know some of these since ive been at 667 for 90 years but nope

[Deleted]

I'm betting on bandit to win this task, he's eerily good at this type of stuff

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.

If you spent a little less time being judgey of the "weird" people and a little more time being friends with everyone maybe this task would be easier.

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

[Big Linda]

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.

Thanks.

Geez this is madness!!

[Pen]

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.

[Deleted]

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)

[Deleted]

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.
