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.
busy weekend

"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
