Ali Baba and the 40 Phoenixes (and why not indeed? ;) )

His Eminence's misspent youth gets him the answer. Although we should really call him Genghis Kargan (Kargan meaning Emperor, while Khan means Ruler), a title given to him after his death.

Right back at you YE...

On the "Which country boasts the highest number of gaming machines?" question, I cheated and looked on the internet, which says America has the most machines :-
Country Number of Slots
USA 770,408
Australia 197,107
In fact the state of Nevada has more machines than Australia!
Nevada - 205,041 machines

Apologies if I am wrong, I read it from the bbc news website

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-p ... 313083.stm.

Unless they were talking about machines per capita, but the BBC site seems to make it quite explicit. I don't know whether there have been a glut of machines in Aus in the last year - that's about the only explanation I can give.

Hey! It's my turn for another hastily-researched and poorly-thought-out question...

Q: Who named his daughter Moxie Crimefighter Jillette?

Never heard of the Christian names but the only Jillette surname I know of is the fat magician, (or is the the Harpo Marx lookalike?) Penn Jillette.

And Quizmaster gets it in a 1er....it was that corpulent conjurer giving his daughter the middle-name "Crimefighter".

Over to you sir.

Aah it was the fatman.

OK here's one in honour of the Fab Four, who under new chart rulings are about to have another squillion No.1's since downloads now officially count as part of the normal chart.

At the end of which Beatles' hit can they be heard singing 'Ooompah Loompah Stick It Up Your Jumper'?

I'm not a huge fan of the Beatles, but I'll guess "A day in the life"

Weyland · Post by **Weyland** » Fri Mar 23, 2007 10:26 pm

Damn, that was going to be my guess. Okay... let's try the song on the other side, "Sgt Pepper's LHCB".

Nope and nope. Wrong album.

Weyland · Post by **Weyland** » Sat Mar 24, 2007 2:25 pm

Penny Lane then, seeing as I used to live there.

QuizMaster · Post by **QuizMaster** » Sat Mar 24, 2007 5:29 pm

No - right album though

Weyland · Post by **Weyland** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 3:19 pm

Strawberry Fields then. If not, eight more to go!

QuizMaster · Post by **QuizMaster** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 4:25 pm

Keep trying!

Sounds silly enough to be at the end of "I am the Walrus".
