Thanx for your help on the questions I had. your hints were really helpful I'd like to know if I could please have some more hints or clues to #'s 20,21,38,81,96,87 I would also like to know if the answer to #51 is Talbot Goodman with the microwave or the inventor of the can opener thanx

I can help you 20) 36.1 feet  21)Gone to Texas  38) 11  81)Wawona Tunnel Tree  87) Hayforks  96) Bat Masterson and 51) I found JC Hormel, Spam, but it depends on which web site you look at. the p-38 can opener was invented by the Subsistence Research Lab, in Chicago and not by one man as it says in the Clue. Percy Spencer invented the Microwave in 1945.

#20 is not 36.1 feet.  Try again!!

[camhead]

#20 it depends on what you think of the question.  It could be 30 ft., they purposely gave too much info and the answer is in the first line.  It could be 40 ft., even though one command may mean go back, he still drove 10 ft.  Or it could be zero, because why would a Utah man drive across the flats?  You have to pick the one that you think makes the most sense.  #21 Gone To Texas.  #38 16, they are all chaps, they just have different names for different purposes.  #81 Wawona Tree Tunnel.  #96 Bat Masterson.  #87 just FORK, there are only four symbols, which means only four letters to make a word.  #51 Two possible answers, Charles Goodnight, he bought an old army wagon and made some modifications to it to make the Chuckwagon (or chuckbox, depending on what you read.  It could also be Cream Chipped Beef, known in the military as S.O.S. The man responsible for that is Dr. James Henry Salisbury, happened during the war between the states, he is credited with the salisbury steak and from it came cream chipped beef.  Also, from vietnam, cook couldn't find brigade in dark, found them in the morning, so guy in charge said to just put it on a piece of bread and fold in half.  Wasn't supposed to be a breakfast food, but for their dinner.  Sorry so long, hope it helps.

I thought Soogan was a bed roll. web site http://www.cowboyup.com/American_Cowboy.html  and you are not reading the clue to 87 competely. It say clearly that you use the  first letter of each TOGETHER to spell an object and that is Flying Y=FY, Open A=OA, Rocking H=RH, and Skeleton Key=SK, you get Hayforks and if you go to this web site it will show you the Open A symbol and how to read the others,http://www.wyomingtalesandtrails.ccom/brands.html Good Luck

I am the type of person that admits when they are wrong, and after double checking about the 'soogan' I admit that I was wrong.  I wasn't wrong myself, but a teammate of mine, once we found out that we were disqualified, I never double checked all the answers from my other teammates.  Sorry, for the confusion.  And a soogan, according to what I found is a quilt or comforter in a cowboys bedroll.  So, the correct answer is 11.

Thats not the only one you got wrong..........

[camhead]

Please enlighten me, which other ones?  By the way, it doesn't really matter to myself because I got disqualified, but I would like to triple check my answers, just to know, and if I am giving someone the "wrong" answer, they deserve to know which ones.  Maybe you should put in your two-cents and give them the right answer.  You can make the comments, but you don't give any help.

#20  #38  #87  #51   There is no 2 possible answers ..... I dont think you would have gotten to go anyway....

[camhead]

Thomas, do you really have any of your own answers, or are you just gathering info and verifying what other people give you.  You are quick to tell people they are wrong, and I've seen some of your bogus answers on other questions.  What gives?
