Quiz of the day ....
Thursday, May 22, 2003 by eieio | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I thought I would start a thread where odd little questions about odd little things could be asked for fun. 
Here's an example to get started.
What's the real name of the symbol on your phone at the bottom right that is commonly referred to as the pound sign?

Jafo - nice! for those of you wondering why - take a book off the shelf and see where the first page and last page are - Herbie only has to go through 8 whole books and 2 covers

The hunting party left the camp and headed south. A half mile out they saw a bear. They shot the bear but only wounded it. The trail lead 1 1/2 miles futher south then east for 3 miles.
They lost track of the bear so they traveled the 2 miles north back to camp.
What color was the bear?

That's right.
Most people give me a stupid look and say ""huh" or "brown".
Still looking for 5 = D in a Z C
and 15 = P in a R T
