No, but the Big Sky "clue" certainly did!

Why? Weber State's sports teams play in the Big Sky Conference.

^_^ I thought for sure I would lose after being ahead just by 50 pts. Responding only to the last few except for the last one haha.

That last one I knew it was somewhere in Europe area. (The structure of the building.) But I just couldn't figure out where. So oh well...if I would've kept going I probably would've looked there next but oh well haha.

Can't wait for the next one.

Thanx again to Hostrauser for hosting this

<whistle> FOUL!

The Aa River in France would appear before the Aare River in the big book! Ooo...this is a much better ending. A CONTROVERSIAL CLUE!

Just wait 'til next year!

Did I say it would appear FIRST?

Re-read the clue.

No need to wait till next year... just wait a couple of months.

Sorry about not responding for the last one. We had musical all week and over the weekend. Looking forward to the next round

"The Big Book of Rivers" is obviously a children's book, and would only have one river per page.

"Just wait 'til next month" doesn't have the same ring to it.

You're right. It would just be a big picture with like ten words at the bottom of the page.

If we're going to talk about fouls, perhaps we should mention this. I stumbled across it a couple of seconds ago when I tried to find out what the "Big Book of Rivers" is.

Well played. I like the misdirection.

It was the exact same question you had in the trivia here. Right down to the "Big Book of Rivers" reference. Here's a link to a google cache version of the page Yahoo! Answers.

Seems someone is using all available reference and research tools. LOL
