OMG! This one's definitely going to require some research. There better be some photo documentation when this is all over!
+1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 I have been wanting pics with each round of answers revealed where a visual would really help those of us who made an incorrect answer, to understand the correct answers better. I would love a full wrap up at the end of the contest, as all the information together would make for one really informative thread or post about the more obscure facts and misunderstood production trivia about the BEP. :thumb:
Oh dear. This is a toughy! I think I know the answer to just one of the above. I can't imagine where we could even find images of these checks, aside from the national archives in DC.
The innernets is a good place to start. So too is this forum, which will likely help offset that feeling that this is an insurmountable task... :thumb:
Thanks, but that's only about 45% of it, from what I can find. I may be reduced to guessing at answers.
