Plus
your turn! feel free to add your own questions to the competition for anyone else who is playing to answer, the rule is that all questions must either relate to Denver or to something in the original questions (eg Q19 was about Molly Brown and the Titanic so you could add a question about the Titanic). 1 point for each valid question, 1 point for each valid question answered. Enjoy!
Extra clue: all are famous people from Denver (or with a Denver connection)

ReplyDeletethe answer to 2 is: john denver. or, to give him his proper name, henry john deutschendorf - which means german village in, erm, german.
you know that bit at the end of the usual suspects - just after kevin spacey has walked out, and the detective suddenly sees all the things he's been talking about are littered around his office/noticeboard/under his mug, etc? that's what my head feels like after nearly a week of trying to figure that one out.
am looking forward to starting to get my life back now :)
so pleased you finally managed to crack it, I was sensing that it was eating away at you!! not sure it is so much about my music trivia geekery (as you tweeted), you can add cryptic crossword question writer to sun headline writer in my list of career aspiration.
ReplyDeleteyeah, i know, the tweet was mean - but i am in awe of the fact you could work for tabloids *and* broadsheets! :)
