**CLOSED** 5 Card Trivia Contest - November 24 - 30

[NDN]

Our 5 Card Trivia Contest works like this...

I will begin by asking a random trivia question.

The first person to respond with the correct answer will receive a random playing card from a standard 52-card deck.

Once someone has responded with the correct answer, I will then ask a new question.

This process will continue throughout the week.

At the end of the week or when all 52-cards have been awarded (whichever comes first), the person who can make the best poker hand (does not need to be a full 5-cards) will receive a $10 Amazon.com gift card!

Rules:

1. Each member may only guess once per question.

2. After you have won a card, you may not guess again until another card has been awarded to a different member.

2. He lifts £50 (as in the UK currency).

Question 10

Below is a short story. In this story are three character names from a movie. The first person to answer with the character names and the movie name will be awarded the next card!

As night began to fall, a dark shadow was cast on the tiny village of Portage. In this village, there lived a sassy old lady who cooked a mean stew every evening. However, tonight she decided to chance it and went to the corner pub where, of all things, she ordered stew!

[ScareCrowAKA]

hahahaha I watched this movie a million times sassy chance and shadow... homeward bound

[eejit101]

By this do you mean if you put the letters together? Or jumble them up? Or what?

(i cant answer, but i still like to do it for myself!)

Edit, i got the wrong end of the stick! Nice on (and btw you still owe me on ScareCrow!)

I'm impressed! I thought if I hid names in a little story I would stump everyone! I think I'll try the story thing again though, certainly makes things much less Googleable.

You have been awarded the 3 of Spades. This gives you a pair of 3's and puts you in the lead!

I'm quite thoroughly enjoying this new contest by the way! Just need to keep coming up with new ways to ask questions and we'll have ourselves a great contest!

[ScareCrowAKA]

Ya, I like that one... u hide it well w the portage and stew decoys... but I have seen that movie so many times, when I seen sassy, then chance, I knew it... but If not I could see that one going on for a while

[NDN]

Question 11

In the puzzle below, you'll find a gambling related word. The first person to correctly identify the word will be awarded the next card.

P X L G P W O S
Y S R D P O F V
L B Q I W T R L
H Y X C R B K K
W A S E G N U H
R G W P P X F G
B B L K F R D E E

The word can be vertical, horizontal, or diagonal (crossword style)!

P.S. Please excuse the spacing and alignment, as I can't devote hours to doing this properly!

[eejit101]

Answer - Dice


Also - This is a competition for the BEST 5 card hand? So surely a pair of 3s = only 2 cards....

[ScareCrowAKA]

Correct! You have been awarded the 10 of Clubs and are now leading with a pair of 10's!

To answer your question, there is no minimum number of cards needed, it's simply the best hand you can make with the cards that you have.
