4. #10 looks to be some kind of amusement/theme park...
looks like roller coasters in lower right corner and lower left also looks like a race track at the top.:shrug:

13. I don't think so. Good thinking outside the box! However...
... it looks like there's a public parking lot at the bottom and an entryway designed to funnel in/out large numbers of people (I've got plenty of Disney experience).

15. Bottom just right of the middle-Isn't that the clock?
in front of the mansion.

Again just guessing.

It is near the gray triangle (parking lot) with what looks like three cars parked in it

20. Those are very tough.....
Edited on Thu Aug-25-05 04:55 PM by GumboYaYa
ABA could be American Bankers Association (banker), Applied Behavioral Analysis (psychologists) and Accident Benefit Association (postal workers union insurance fund). That's all I can think of for that one.

21. I think for bankers it's NMBA. I don't know about the Postal
workers or the shrinks.

23. This is why I make the questions so hard :)
This is awesome. Keep trying...I can tell you you're getting close on at least one. You might want to take a look at previous Quiz League rounds to get an idea of the cryptic nature of some of the questions.

26. Thanks...
I noticed a strange peak in traffic to the site, so I checked the referrer logs and found the trackback to this forum. I think it's great...the quizzes are designed to be solved over the net, so this is perfectly cool.

28. on question 7
if you right click & scroll to properties, there's a hint & it says that the one on the lower left is different than the other three. Well, duh, that's Jackie O. & the others are nature scapes. That seems way too obvious.

I'll say you're on the right track. Study the pictures harder and then think outside the box.

29. On number 10,
it's almost surely got to be an amusement park. Since this is the springifeld trivia, what big amusement parks are there? How about Illinois?

(Properties)

They give you hints.

#7 "The lower-left is different than the other three".

#9 "You can call me Al".

#10 "Is that the Vengaboys?"

Not Disneyland. Magic Mountain? But I'm going from a California point of view.
