Message 1063786 - Posted: 5 Jan 2011, 23:14:14 UTC - in response to Message 1063769.  

Not waiting for James, to respond in a like amount downward.

I'm going to call Victor as the Victor!

According to my half correct meter, the answer was 1275 miles, which put James and Victor half-way one either side. But with Vic's astute answer put him a half mile closer.

I'll send Vic a quick PM, and it's his win!

Thank You Dune.

I just guessed in the right direction.

Now I have two Questions that concerns Sci-Fi trivia from Battlestar Galactica 1980:

How many Cylons walked the Earth?

And who invented Human looking Cylons first, Glen Larsons production of Battlestar Galactica 1980 or the Battlestar Galactica Miniseries?

If someone thinks that I'm joking, I could always get the camera out and play the DVD to the right scene in "The Night The Cylons Landed Part II" and take a picture.

100

The mini-series.

Well the 2nd question was mainly to inform, But whatever.

Ok lets see...

John McLeod VII: 100 cylons and Mini Series
Uli: 137 cylons and production(Glen Larson)

We can now concern ourselves with the number only, As in how many were on Earth.

I don't remember many cyclons on Earth..I was going to say 0, but Angela got there first. So I'll say 2.

I'm also pretty sure that the Human looking cylons were in the new series, not the original.

Ooooohh iffy .... Did you mean "real" Cylons .... However as a Gentleman, I will let my little mate Es take the win. :-))

"little" mate?

We have met, are you remembering things correctly?

But I shall graciously take this win, even though I came very near to saying 3.

Thank you Vic.

I shall make my competition brief and easy.

Despite being a confirmed "man hater" I live in a household of 6 (not including the cat) where I am the only female.

How many XBox 360s do we have?

If more than one person wants the same guess then they also have to answer the question "how many copies of Halo (all editions, sequels etc) do we have?" for a tie breaker.

If there is any further dispute then the question "how many XBox 360s in each room?" will be the final decider.

Yours long sufferingly,

4 gaming thingies and 11 copies of Halo.

My deepest, most heartfelt sympathies go out to you, Esme. I'm sure it is a well known scientific fact that the average male of our species exhibits arrested cognitive development around age 8 years.
