Hey All,
Another great night of answers, and some wicked dialogue and trash talking amongst some members. If time allows, I might take this quiz to a blog and open up the mouthing off for all to join in! By far the most common answer was 38. But, as with last night, the common answer was wrong!
The actual answer is 34 minutes, and I’ll let last night’s winner explain it in his own words:
· Winnie and her flamboyant friend Chris go first (4 mins.). Chris comes back as he likes to hang out with the boys (4 mins.).
· When he gets there, Kim and Rob ditch him 'cause they don't swing that way (20 mins.).
· When they meet up with Winnie, she says we are jerks and goes back to get her flamboyant friend Chris (2 mins.).They both join us afterward (4mins.) but we're still not comfortable around Chris as continues to ogle us.
The winner was Kim Ly, who answered within 22 minutes of the question being thrown out. Kim too has offered up a mini profile as shown below.
Q#2 Winner – Kim Ly
· Born in Cambodia, raised in Quebec City, educated in Ontario, and now live in beautiful BC.
· Married and a proud father of a little baby girl, Kayane is 6 weeks old.
· List of passions in life is very long, I find joy in almost everything and everyone, but I particularly enjoy this advent calendar quiz.
· I make my cheese by wholesaling financial products to banks and independent financial firms across BC.
· I have conquered anorexia but I'm now battling obesity, I eat when I'm sad and I'm sad because I eat...it's a vicious cycle.
And so with the winner announced, here is the next challenge……

How Big is Big? How Small is Small? Why Did Bart Lose His Lunch?
Today’s question is dedicated to Bart Simpson. In the Bart the Genius episode, he is sent to a gifted school where the smart kids promptly swindle him out of lunch by offering to trade super small amounts of their lunch (e.g. nanolitres of milk) for large parts of his (e.g. half a sandwich). Before he knew it, Bart was left with nothing for lunch.
Funny to watch, but would you do any better? Let’s find out!
a) Assuming Bart wants to keep as much of his milk as possible, which of the following should he offer up to get a sandwich? (i.e. which represents the least amount of milk).
b) Assuming Bart instead has a sandwich to trade, what represents the best value for his sandwich? (i.e. which represents the greatest amount of milk).
