Question 1 (4 points)
By Neil Enns, ennsnr@brandonu.ca
My friend and I were playing Scrabble last night, when in a fit
of desperation I put down the word "xyzzy". My friend does not
believe that this is a real word, but I of course think it is.
We agreed before the game that if a word could be found in
any dictionary, it would be declared valid. So far, I've had
no luck finding a definition. Can anyone find
me the definition of "xyzzy", and tell me where you got it?

I really enjoyed J.R.R.Tolkien's tales of Middle Earth in his books, and
I play several games based on them. Where can I get a map of Middle Earth?

Question 6 (4 points)
By Neil Enns, ennsnr@brandonu.ca
I'm doing a history project on games, and decided to do a paper on LEGO
bricks. I'm looking for the name of the person who invented it,
but I can't find the information anywhere! Also, when did the bricks first
appear in the United States?

Question 9 (5 points)
By Laura Windsor windsorl@bart.db.erau.edu
I want to get the game Monopoly which a friend of mine has for his Macintosh.
I need a DOS version though that would work with my computer. He said a DOS
version was available but couldn't remember the hardware requirements or who
he ordered his Mac version from. Can someone help?

Question 10 (5 points)
By Dr. Gerald R. Viers, grviers@CSUPomona.edu
There is a game I have seen that has rows of spaces for you to fill in with
colors. When your row of colors matches exactly the target row of colors, you
win. Problem is, I have a Mac Classic. How can I play this game with a b/w
screen?

Question 11 (4 points)
By Tony Safina and Karen Schneider, tony@iglou.com and kgs@intac.com
Our dad taught us never to gamble, said only the House wins, everyone else
loses. We heard a rumor, though, that there was a place on the Internet where
every roulette play was a winner every time around. Heard there's only one
game at this "casino" -- but Lady Luck never leaves your side and there's a
million ways to win.... though (and they warn you) sometimes you win a
big goose egg!
Where is this place?

BONUS QUESTION (3 points)
By Neil Enns, ennsnr@brandonu.ca
I'm looking for a GIF image of the official Olympic games flag. One that is
about 60x40 pixels would be great. I suspect there is one on the Internet
somewhere... but where?
