Without Looking It Up (game)


Newan

Recommended Posts

Does it count as "looking it up" if I got it from reading an astronomy book yesterday, then just found this question today? If not, then

Charon, hydra, nyx, styx, kerberos. (Apologize for any spelling errors.)

Okay, I'm assuming that that doesn't count as cheating. Without looking it up, state and define all of Sanderson's Laws.

 

In no particular Order:

  • Err on the side of Awesome.
  • The ability to solve a problem with magic is directly proportional to the audiences understanding of Magic.
  • I can't remember the wording on this one, but figure out what else the magic can do before making brand new abilities for it.
  • Limitations are greater than Powers

1. I have watched the first two episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer which surprised me by how good they were.

2. I almost fell down the stairs yesterday.

3. I write messages to my future self on the bottom of my wooden shelves. 

4. I think that the letter P has been worn out by taking care of its elderly neighbors O and Q. N doesn't help enough, and R is too busy hanging out with S and T.

WLIU list all the Pokemon Ash Ketchum caught during the Indigo League (season 1). You don't need to list both pre-evolutions and evolutions, just one from each family is sufficient.

Bulbasaur

Squirtle

Charmander

(Traded for) Raticate

Krabby

I feel like I'm missing obvious ones so I'll wait for confirmation.

 

You missed Haunter, though he technically never "caught" Haunter, just befriended it, so I'll give it to you. Also, Lapras was not during the Indigo League, but shortly after it. 

 

 

Ah, I was only counting Landwalk and Protection once each, but that works. 

 

Mmm, my apologies. I've never considered Landwalk one ability, though I did take into account protection. Heh, sorry.

Wait, seriously? That's all the pokemon he caught?

 

Ash, you are the worst pokemon trainer. If you're Pikachu wasn't god-tier, you wouldn't have half the badges you do.

 

Anyway...hmm...

Kid Flash

Batman

Robin

Name 15 characters in Harry Potter who die in the books. The books don't have to have shown their death, but they do have to have died during the course of the novels, so James and Lily wouldn't count as they died before the story started (if only just). To be on the safe side, use spoiler tags. :)

 

EDIT: I know I named enough already, but I'm looking through the list now and I'm ashamed that I forgot Harry Potter, Superman, E.T., Home Alone, and so many others. #fail

Name five medical texts that were published pre-nineteenth century.

I had 12 names written up, and was writing up the 13th, when Kasimir posted. I had the other two in my head, as well.

 

Also, Colin Creevey doesn't die, does he? And by way of non-humans, I had Hedwig, so I guess I can't blame you. That was so sad. To this day, I have a stuffed Hedwig in my room.

 

Anyway, medical texts? Pre-nineteenth century?

 

I could probably come with 2-3 if I really tried, but there is no way I'll get five.
