Yep, to be specific, what is the 106th Battlecruiser Squadron?


Well, to be that specific I would have to look it up and I feel like that's cheating :)

Per Mission of Honor:

Pritchart blinked at her, then those topaz eyes narrowed in thought, and the president began nodding—slowly, at first, then more rapidly.

"So that's why you make such a fiendishly effective diplomat!" she said with something very like an air of triumph. "I couldn't believe how well a total novice was reading us. Now I know—you were cheating!"

The last word came out in something very like a laugh, and Honor nodded back.

"Where diplomacy's concerned, according to my mentors in the Foreign Office, there is no such thing as 'cheating,' Madam President. In fact, one of those mentors quoted an old axiom to me. Where diplomacy is involved, he said, if you aren't cheating, you aren't trying hard enough."


Just subsitute Jeopardy for diplomacy, and Bob's your uncle... :lol: 8-)

Wait, you've been getting the answers without cheating??? Are you serious?!!! How can you do that?

Reminds me of my niece who solves the rubiks cube without cheating, faster than I can. And I cheat!

Alright Amaroq. Time to spill the beans...

You've been genetically enhanced, right? ;) :lol:
A Mesan spy is lurking within our midst. Didn't Albrecht warn all spies to the danger of showing off? But you can't resist it, can you huh, can you huh, can you huh? :lol:

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense

Ah, you're on to me...

I'm just a huge re-reader of stories that I like. I can usually remember whole parts verbatim as well as have a pretty good memory of where/when/what book something happened in. Plus, once I've read something over enough times I remember names, events, places etc...well.

Correct. What are Samantha and Grayson.

Your other answers technically do not qualify, as brood signifies young animals.

Smart Alex Trebek has spoken. :roll: :D
